Recent advances in the detection and identification of below-elbow myoelectric signals have resulted in a possible alternative to traditional teleoperation control methods such as joysticks, exoskeletons and slave manipulators. This paper describes a myoelectric control system based upon a single electrode positioned on the upper forearm. A potentially powerful method of objectively assessing the performance of teleoperated systems is also examined. The implications of this work for teleoperation system design and implementation are reviewed, and possible future research directions indicated.

Key Words: assessment • Fitt’s Law • myoelectric control • robot • teleoperation
