A Graph Neural Network Model for Real-Time Gesture Recognition Based on sEMG Signals

arXiv:2607.07850v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: For seemless control of advanced hand prostheses and augmented reality, accurate and immediate hand gestures recognition is essential. Surface electromyography (sEMG) signals obtained from the forearm are commonly employed for this purpose. In this paper, we present a novel approach for sEMG representation that utilizes graph networks which contain information about muscle activation patterns in the forearm. Based on these graph networks, we have developed a machine learning algorithm capable of real-time hand gesture recognition using a graph ne
