Abstract

Gestures made by a human can be classified using Electromyography (EMG) signals collected from the forearm; even with low-frequency devices. Numerous steps are required from data collection and pre-processing through to final classification. Traditionally, an important part of EMG signal classification is extracting features from the raw signal to reduce dimensionality. It is predominantly carried out manually before the signals are input into a neural network. In this research, we successfully used a CNN to extract the features automatically, and an LSTM layer was utilised to classify the gestures. This network architecture removes a step in the gesture classification process. Using the raw signals input into a CNN/LSTM hybrid increased classification when compared with an LSTM network that required features to be manually extracted from the raw signals.
