Intelligent Robotic Arm: Vision-Based Control and EMG-Driven Gesture Recognition

A MediaPipe hand-tracking pipeline driving a tendon-driven robotic hand, and an EMG-driven gesture recognition pipeline built alongside it. Offline evaluation on logged trajectories shows that temporal smoothing stabilizes the non-thumb fingers but cannot fix the thumb, whose error is geometric rather than temporal; the EMG side compares recurrent, convolutional and classical models on synthetic signals to validate the pipeline end to end.
