Control of NAO Robot with MYO band

Description

Myo is a wearable device where based on preset gestures it creates a controlling platform to other electronic systems. Electromyography is an technique which is used for evaluating and recording the electrical activity which has been produced by skeletal muscles [1].These Electromyography which records the electric potential is produced by the activity in a muscle cells during its contraction, and it can be detected through electrodes applied on skin. The use of these signals is very feasible for analysis of movements and controlling of some electronic devices, since for each movement it has different modes of muscle activation, which are reflected in different signatures or patterns for device control. In this paper we describe the method of using the myo to control the nao humanoid robot. The communication between ubuntu and nao robot can be made through IP(Internet Protocol) . PyoConnect which is an software used for communication between pc and myo armband. Using the Naoqi module in the python script we can control the Nao's arm
