Description
Summary:Rehabilitation robots have shown significant efficacy in restoring lost motor functions in stroke survivors by providing compliant assistance during rehabilitation tasks. However, accurately understanding the desired motion intention (DMI) of the subjects is a significant challenge in providing effective robotic assistance. This work aims to determine the desired motion intention (DMI) for compliant robotic assistance through the analysis of upper limb motions using electroencephalography (EEG) signals. A group of fifteen individuals who were in good health carried out six distinct exercises. These movements were categorized using decision trees, random forest, and deep learning algorithms. Using deep learning, we achieved the highest accuracy rates, reaching 82% for movement-to-movement classification and 90% for movement-to-rest classification. The random forest method achieved superior performance compared to the other algorithms in regression tests, with an accuracy rate of 83%. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed EEG-based classification and regression techniques in detecting DMI for robotic help in rehabilitation.The study was conducted with a small sample size, exclusively involving healthy subjects, which is a critical factor to consider. This may limit the generalizability of the results, particularly when populations with motor impairments are taken into account. However, the study offers valuable insights into the potential of the EEG-based models for real-time rehabilitation applications despite this limitation.
