Abstract

This work was carried out as part of a project to develop a low-cost open source bionic hand using electromyographic (EMG) signals. Probably the most important task for the success of this bionic hand is to achieve a correct determination of muscle activation intervals. In this paper it is presented an algorithm for the detection of Onset/Offset to be executed in an Arduino UNO. The aim of this algorithm is to be executed in this “ATmega328 microprocessor with a 16 MHz clock speed and 32 kBytes of memory in order to accomplish with effectiveness the real-time control of the bionic hand. The tests performed up to its application in real-time detection of muscle activation will also be described. The preliminary results presented show a 100% success rate in most gestures performed by the bionic hand but with the occurrence of a few false activations.
