Muscle-plotter: an Interactive System based on Electrical Muscle Stimulation that Produces ...
summary
Muscle-plotter is an EMS system that steers the wrist to draw data on paper using an Anoto pen, a battery-powered stimulator, Octave/Python back-ends and an oscilloscope for control. It produces continuous, programmable output by actuating muscles while the pen leaves persistent trace so users can compare curves. Performance in a user study shows accuracy ±4.07 mm and reliable reproduction up to 0.3 cycles per cm, but jitter and fast features (triangle/flat sections) still break the output.
