Description
Summary:The paper presents the research methodology and the analysis of the results of the comparison test of two methods of controlling the exoskeleton of the upper limb using signals of muscle activity and manual control devices. The results show the advantage of the joystick method over EMG in terms of usability, task execution time, ease of use and comfort.
