sEMG (Surface Electromyography) is the electric activity of groups of muscles measured with electrodes on the skin surface. Since it reflects motion intentions, sEMG has been studied as a signal to control welfare machines. This study investigated the electrodes, measurement method, and selection of multi-channel sEMG signals. Soft and wearable sEMG electrodes were developed with conductive polymers and conductive silicon. The relation between bioelectric characteristics and the quality of sEMG was elucidated. And a multi-channel sEMG measurement system was developed and validated with healthy subjects and amputees.
