A framework of human impedance recognition

A framework for recognizing the human intention of human forearm is developed. For a cooperative task, friendly and safe interaction is a key issue when humans directly interaction with the robots. Therefore, estimating the dynamics and intention of the human hand are very meaningful in the human machine interaction. A human subject puts his hand on the force sensor when a haptic device sets force in the proposed framework, the measured force, the surface electromyographic signal and the motion of the hand are employed to estimate the parameters of human forearm's impedance. The performance and feasibility of developed framework are verified.
