Estimation of continuous elbow joint movement based on human physiological structure.

Objective: Human intention recognition technology plays a vital role in the application of robotic exoskeletons and powered exoskeletons. However, the precise estimation of the continuous motion of each joint represents a major challenge. In the current study, we present a method for estimating cont...

However, the precise estimation of the continuous motion of each joint represents a major challenge. In the current study, we present a method for estimating continuous elbow joint movement.Methods: We developed a novel approach for estimating the elbow joint angle based on human physiological structure. We used surface electromyography signals to analyze the biomechanical properties of the muscle and combined it with physiological structure to achieve a model for estimating continuous motion. And a genetic algorithm was used to optimize unknown parameters.Results: We performed extensive trials to verify the generalizability and effectiveness of this method. The trial types included elbow joint motion with single cycle trials, typical cycle trials, gradually increasing amplitude trials, and random movement trials for handheld loads of 1.25 and 2.5 kg. The results revealed that the average root-mean-square errors ranged from 0.12 to 0.26 rad, reflecting an appropriate level of estimation accuracy.Conclusion: Establishing a reasonable physiological model and applying an efficient optimization algorithm enabled more accurate estimation of the joint angle. The proposed method provides a theoretical foundation for robotic exoskeletons and powered exoskeletons to understand the intentions of human continuous motion.
