Abstract

To control the servo motors of the kinematic links of the exoskeleton operating in a combined mode, it is proposed to use an electromyosignal obtained as a result of monitoring the activity of muscles performing the corresponding test exercises. In order to calculate the moment of forces on the kinematic links of the exoskeleton, which assist these muscles, it is necessary to determine the amount of necessary assistance by the multichannel electromyosignal, that is, to calculate the required exogenous moment on the corresponding link of the exoskeleton. This requires an electromyosignal classifier. Since the decoding of the electromyosignal is carried out by means of a neural network, for its training it is necessary to form training samples in which the calibrated load on the corresponding muscles is assigned to the patterns of electromyosignals. The article describes the method and means of obtaining calibrated electromyosignals.
