Abstract

This paper proposes new methodology to build a system for control and actuation of a prosthetic leg. The method described in this paper involves online control of a prosthetic leg by analyzing EMG (Electromyography) signal inputs from a normal leg and thereby actuating the prosthetic leg. The EMG (Electromyography) pulse inputs are taken from specific set of muscles in the leg to form a signal pattern library of active and inactive states of the muscles for every specific movement. During real-time operation the inputs from the normal leg is taken and actuation of motors in done by processing those input signals.
