Method for Estimating Intention Using Unsupervised Learning - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17844361 titled 'Method for Estimating Intention Using Unsupervised Learning
Simplified Explanation
The patent proposal describes a control scheme for a robot hand using myoelectric intention estimation of the human being. This is achieved through the use of the kernel Principal Component Analysis Algorithm (kPCA).
- The system includes a biometric EMG sensor system, a robot hand with multiple fingers, a controller, and a robot hand.
- The controller obtains the biometric EMG signal from the biometric sensor system.
- The controller uses the kernel principal component analysis (kPCA) algorithm with a kernel function to estimate the myoelectric motion intention of the user.
- Based on the estimated motion intention, the controller generates a control command.
- The control command is then sent to the robot hand, allowing it to perform the desired motion.
Potential Applications
- Prosthetic limbs: This technology can be used to develop advanced prosthetic hands that can be controlled by the user's muscle signals.
- Robotic surgery: The control scheme can be applied to robotic surgical systems, allowing surgeons to control robotic arms with their muscle signals.
- Industrial automation: The technology can be used in manufacturing and assembly lines, where robots can be controlled by human operators using their muscle signals.
Problems Solved
- Limited control options: This technology solves the problem of limited control options for robotic hands by allowing users to control them using their muscle signals.
- Natural and intuitive control: The use of myoelectric intention estimation provides a more natural and intuitive way of controlling robotic hands, mimicking the user's own hand movements.
Benefits
- Enhanced functionality: The control scheme allows for a wider range of hand movements and gestures, providing enhanced functionality for prosthetic hands and robotic systems.
- Improved user experience: By using muscle signals, users can control the robot hand more intuitively, leading to an improved user experience.
- Increased precision: The myoelectric intention estimation enables precise control of the robot hand, allowing for more accurate and delicate movements.
Original Abstract Submitted
This patent proposal document provides a complete robot hand control scheme using myoelectric intention estimation of the human being using the kernel Principal Component Analysis Algorithm (kPCA). The robot hand system includes a biometric EMG sensor system, a robot hand including with multiple fingers, a controller connected with the biometric EMG sensor system, and a robot hand. The controller acquires the biometric EMG signal by means of a biometric sensor system, estimates myoelectric motion intention by applying the kernel principal component analysis (kPCA) algorithm using a kernel function, and delivers a control command corresponding to the estimated motion intention of the user to the robot hand.
