However, inevitable electrode shift as a non-negligible defect commonly causes a trained classifier requiring continuous recalibrations. In this study, a novel hand gesture prediction is firstly proposed; it is robust to electrode shift with arbitrary angle. Unlike real-time recognition which outputs target gestures only after the termination of hand motions, our proposed advanced prediction can provide the same results, even before the completion of signal collection. Moreover, by combining interpolated peak location and preset synchronous gesture, the developed simplified rapid electrode shift detection and correction at random rather than previous fixed angles are realized. Experimental results demonstrate that it is possible to achieve both electrode shift detection with high precision and gesture prediction with high accuracy. This study provides a new insight into electrode shift robustness which brings gesture prediction a step closer to practical applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20041113","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,20]],"date-time":"2020-02-20T03:20:03Z","timestamp":1582168803000},"page":"1113","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Advanced Hand Gesture Prediction Robust to Electrode Shift with an Arbitrary Angle"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4567-3079","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhenjin","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechatronic Engineering and Automation, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200444, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Linyong","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechatronic Engineering and Automation, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200444, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jinwu","family":"Qian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechatronic Engineering and Automation, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200444, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6966-0208","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhen","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechatronic Engineering and Automation, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200444, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Li, K., Cheng, J., Zhang, Q., and Liu, J.
