Outline of Final Research Achievements

We controlled the robot arm based on EMG. The robot arm was regarded as a prosthesis. The robot arm takes time to operate. It takes time for the robot arm to identify the motion. The subject moves the finger and time is measured until the robot arm moves. We made a verification of how much time it would be acceptable. As a result, we were able to clarify the allowable time. It was decided to verify whether it could be identified within that time. EEG examined the change in exercise preparation potential according to the number of fingers. We were the number of fingers, and we were able to confirm the change before exercise at a specific site. From this result, it was possible to determine which finger you wanted to move by seeing the difference in the waveform before exercise.
