Intention recognition of elbow joint based on sEMG using adaptive fuzzy neural network

Abstract

In this paper, the adaptive fuzzy neural network (AFNN) based on the surface electromyography (sEMG) for estimating the elbow joint angle is established and investigated from the perspective of rapidity and accuracy. In addition, back propagation neural network (BPNN) and artificial neural network of radial basis function (RBFNN), as the classical method for data forecasting, have been applied to estimate the elbow joint angle for comparing with AFNN. Ultimately, the experimental simulation and result analysis demonstrate that the rapidity and accuracy of AFNN is superior to BPNN and RBFNN.
