There is an increasing demand for accurate prediction of joint moments using wearable sensors for robotic exoskeletons to achieve precise control and for rehabilitation care to remotely monitor users’ condition. In this study, we used electromyography (EMG) signals to first identify muscle synergies, then used them to train of a long short-term memory network to predict knee joint moments during w...
