Popis: To overcome the challenges posed by the complex structure and large parameter requirements of existing classification models, the authors propose an improved extreme learning machine (ELM) classifier for human locomotion intent recognition in this study, resulting in enhanced classification accuracy. The structure of the ELM algorithm is enhanced using the logistic regression (LR) algorithm, significantly reducing the number of hidden layer nodes. Hence, this algorithm can be adopted for real-time human locomotion intent recognition on portable devices with only 234 parameters to store. Additionally, a hybrid grey wolf optimization and slime mould algorithm (GWO-SMA) is proposed to optimize the hidden layer bias of the improved ELM classifier. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed model successfully recognizes nine daily motion modes including low-, mid-, and fast-speed level ground walking, ramp ascent/descent, sit/stand, and stair ascent/descent. Specifically, it achieves 96.75% accuracy with 5-fold cross-validation while maintaining a real-time prediction time of only 2 ms. These promising findings highlight the potential of onboard real-time recognition of continuous locomotion modes based on our model for the high-level control of powered knee prostheses.
