Design and Implementation of Myoelectric Controlled Arm

In this paper, a discrimination system, using a neural network for electromyogram (EMG) externally controlled Arm is proposed. In this system, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used to learn the relation between the power spectrum of EMG signal analysed by Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and the performance desired by handicapped people. The Neural Network can discriminate 4 performances of the EMG signals simultaneously. The digital signal processing was realized using MATLAB and LabVIEW software.
