Abstract: Improving the dexterity of active prostheses is a major research area amalgamating machine learning algorithms and biosignals. A recent research niche has emerged from this- providing proportional control to a prosthetic hand by modelling the force applied at the fingertips using surface electromyography (sEMG). The publicly released NinaPro database contains sEMG recording for 6 degree-of-freedom force activations for 40 intact subjects. In this preliminary study the authors successfully perform multivariate force regression using Bayesian mixture of experts (MoE). The accuracy of the model is compared to the benchmark set by the authors of NinaPro; comparable performance is achieved, however in this work a lower dimensional feature extraction representation obtains the best modelling accuracies, hence reducing training time. Inherent to the Bayesian framework is the inclusion of uncertainty in the model structure, providing a natural step in obtaining confidence bounds on the predi ctions. The MoE model used in this paper provides a powerful method for modelling force regression with application to actively controlling prosthetic and robotic arms for rehabilitation purposes, resulting in highly refined movements.
