Description
Summary:A bipedal walking robot is a kind of humanoid robot. It mimics human behavior and is devised to perform human-specific tasks. Currently, humanoid robots are not capable to walk properly like human beings. In this paper, a technique to identify different human walking activities using a human gait pattern is suggested. Human locomotion is a manifestation of a change in the joint angle of the hip, knee, and ankle. To achieve the aforementioned objective, firstly, 25 different subject’s data is collected for identification of seven different walking activities, namely, natural walk, walking on toes, walking on heels, walking upstairs, walking downstairs, sit-ups, and jogging. Next, the important features for gait activity recognition are selected using bio-geography based optimization, in which, classification accuracy is considered as a fitness function. Finally, we have explored six machine learning algorithms for the classification of gait activities, namely, support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbor (KNN), random forest (RF), decision tree (DT), gradient boosting (GB), and extra tree classifier (ET). All these algorithms have been tested rigorously and achieve high accuracy of 91.64% in RF, 90.41% in SVM, 82.6% in KNN, 86.51% in DT, 88.34% in ET & 89.97% in GB respectively on our HAG dataset. The proposed technique is also validated on the WISDM data-set for comparative analysis.
