Myo Robot Control – Intuitive Manipulation with a 6 DOF Robotic Arm and Anthropomorphic Hand

ROS enabled human-robot cooperation for fast and easy object manipulation 6DoF Schunk PowerBall LWP4 robotic arm and SVH anthropomorphic hand are controlled over Bluetooth using the Myo armband. Both position and orientation of the Myo sensor are used to move the arm and place the hand close to the object of interest. Myo’s EMG sensors detect muscle activity of the user’s grasp, release gestures and trigger grasp motion of the robotic hand. Collisions with the table are avoided by using dynamic kinematic re
