Abstract
This paper proposes a useful method driving the electric car by EMG signals, whose frequency of effective band is taken into consideration. The EMG signal is used as EMG interface, which is used as living body interface. The EMG signal can be measured from all the people easily, even physically handicapped people, elderly and so on. In our interface, the effective frequency band of EMG signal is extracted to drive the electric car effectively. The extracted signal is converted to binary signal which drives differential motor. In the experiments that driving the electric car by using the proposed EMG interface, we used the SD method to evaluate of operation feeling. As a result, it is shown that the effective frequency band gives an influence on operating feeling and riding comfort.
