Abstract

Intelligent manufacturing is a focus of current manufacturing research, and, in combination with the Internet, it enables accurate real-time control of intelligent equipment. Highly accurate real-time prosthesis control has very important applications in therapeutics, intelligent prosthesis, and other fields. However, the applicability of the current electromyogram signal recognition method is not strong because of multiple factors. These include considering one objective (correctness) only and the inability to consider differences of recognition accuracy between actions, to recognize the number of channels, or to recognize computational complexity. In this article, we propose a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on a decomposition-based multi-objective differential evolution framework to construct a multi-objective model for electromyogram signals with multiple features and channels. Such channels and features are balanced and selected by using a support vector machine as an electromyogram signal classifier. Results of substantial experiment analyses indicate that the multi-objective electromyogram signal recognition method is superior to the single-objective ant colony algorithm and that the decomposition-based multiobjective evolutionary algorithms with Angle-based updating and global margin ranking is better than the decomposition-based multi-objective evolutionary algorithm and decomposition-based multiobjective evolutionary algorithms with angle-based updating strategy in handling multi-objective models for electromyogram signals.
