This document summarizes research on classifying grasp patterns using surface electromyography (sEMG) data. The goal was to build a classification model that identifies spherical and tip grasps. A male subject performed each grasp type 100 times daily for 3 days, providing 600 total instances. A hidden Markov model was used to classify the grasps, with 90% of data for training and 10% for testing. The model achieved 73.3% overall accuracy, with higher accuracy for spherical grasps. Suggestions for improving the model included adding more features and stratifying the training/test sets.
