Abstract: Highlights•Armband myoelectric control systems were developed.•Armband sEMG device was used for capturing 22 types of forearm motions.•Performances of sEMG recognition algorithms were evaluated.•Armband sEMG devices are dense enough for short-term use but not apt for long-term use regarding the conventional recognition algorithm.
