The purpose of this research is the construction of a practical master slave system which uses EMG signals. Using a linear multiple regression model, joint angles are predicted, and the motion pattern discrimination is conducted. The experiments were conducted to verify the validity of this technique. Consequently, in all five subjects, these motions were discriminated with a high rate of discernment. Moreover, the joint angle was predicted from EMG signals and a robot arm was controlled intuitively and accurately. From these experiments, the usefulness of processing EMG signals with a linear multiple regression model was proved.
