Impact of EMG Signal Filters on Machine Learning Model Training: A Comparison with Clustering on Raw Signal
| Resumo: | Our current society faces challenges in integrating individuals with disabilities, making this process difficult and painful. People with disabilities (PwD) are often mistakenly considered incapable due to the difficulties they face in daily tasks due to the lack of adapted means and tools. In this context, assistive technologies play a crucial role in improving the quality of life for these individuals. However, assistive technologies still have various limitations, making research in this area essential to enhance existing solutions and develop new approaches that meet individual needs, aiming to promote inclusion and equal opportunities. This paper presents a research project that focuses on the study of electromyography (EMG) signal processing generated by individuals who have undergone amputations. These signals are essential in assistive technologies, such as myoelectric prostheses. The study focuses on the impact of different filters and machine learning training methods on this processing. The results of this study have the potential to provide relevant findings for the development of more efficient assistive technologies. By understanding the processing of EMG signals and applying machine learning techniques, it is possible to improve the accuracy and response speed of prosthetics, increasing the functionality and naturalness of movements performed by users, as well as paving the way for the emergence of new technologies. |
