NeuroEdge: Real-Time Hand Gesture Recognition with High-Density EMG Using Deep Learning at the Edge

arXiv:2605.29326v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-density electromyography (HD-EMG) has emerged as a powerful modality for decoding fine-grained neuromuscular activity, enabling real-time neural-machine interfaces (NMIs) for applications such as prosthetic control, rehabilitation, and augmented interaction. While deep learning approaches such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs)have demonstrated high classification accuracy for EMG-based gesture recognition, their deployment on embedded hardware remains a major challenge due to computational and memory constraints. This paper presents Ne

Why this matters
