FMG + EGO
FMG armbands and egocentric vision: recording natural bimanual work
FMG + IMU forearm bands record muscle-deformation pressure changes and inertial motion, often paired with head-worn vision. They are not EMG, and not robot action ground truth.

What the signal actually is
FMG measures contact-pressure changes tied to muscle deformation — not EMG, and not contact force. Paired with IMU and egocentric video, it supports gesture, hand-pose, and robot-learning research.
Gains from a new modality are hypotheses to test — run ablations and on-robot controls under the same task split; do not assume positive lift.
Typical wear setup
A common setup is stereo head-worn vision plus bilateral forearm bands so both hands keep natural contact. Check sync and data integrity before offline metrics.
Product pages show structure demos and co-wear notes; interfaces and delivery scope are confirmed per project.
Related FAQ
- Is FMG the same as EMG?
- No. FMG measures contact-pressure changes tied to muscle deformation — not EMG, and not contact force.
- Can armband data be used as robot action labels?
- No. Ego, gloves, and armbands record human-side observations. Trajectory estimation, force mapping, and cross-embodiment transfer need extra calibration and validation.
- How is it typically paired with vision?
- A common setup pairs stereo head-worn vision with bilateral forearm bands so both hands keep natural contact — linking muscle deformation, inertial motion, and egocentric video for gesture and robot-learning research.
