Project EDAN: Towards an EMG-controlled Daily Assistant
Channel: DLR RM
Date: 2017-01-24

At the German Aerospace Center (DLR) Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics, we are developing a research platform for an assistive robotic system. The platform called EDAN (EMG-controlled Daily Assistant) consists of a robotic manipulator, which is mounted on a power wheelchair. The focus of this research is twofold. On the one hand, we investigate the use of Electromyography (EMG) as a non-invasive interface to provide people with control over assistive systems. On the other hand, we develop methods to simplify the usage of such systems with the support of artificial intelligence.
