In this paper, to control a wearable robot, a user’s motion
estimation method is proposed to control the wearable robots
based on the user’s motion intention. In the proposed method,
the user’s motion is estimated based on both the EMG and
EEG signals. The EMG signals are used as main input signals
because the EMG signals show almost one-to-one relationship
with the corresponding muscle and have higher relative to the
motion in comparison with the EEG signals. The EEG signals
are used to estimate the part of the motion which is not able to
be estimated based on unavailable EMG signals. The
effectiveness the proposed method has been evaluated by
performing the motion intention estimation.
