Description
Summary:In response to the need for an exoskeleton to quickly identify the wearer’s movement mode in the mixed control mode, this paper studies the impact of different feature parameters of the surface electromyography (sEMG) signal on the accuracy of human motion pattern recognition using multilayer perceptrons and long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks. The sEMG signals are extracted from the seven common human motion patterns in daily life, and the time domain and frequency domain features are extracted to build a feature parameter dataset for training the classifier. Recognition of human lower extremity movement patterns based on multilayer perceptrons and the LSTM neural network were carried out, and the final recognition accuracy rates of different feature parameters and different classifier model parameters were compared in the process of establishing the dataset. The experimental results show that the best accuracy rate of human motion pattern recognition using multilayer perceptrons is 95.53%, and the best accuracy rate of human motion pattern recognition using the LSTM neural network is 96.57%.
