In this paper, we propose a deep learning model for estimating finger movements based on EMG signals. We have also evaluated and analyzed the accuracy of the model. We have applied the U-Net structure, which is widely used in medical image analysis, to our model. In general, U-Net is mainly used for processing of two-dimensional images. However, in this paper, 8-channel one-dimensional time series EMG data is used as inputs, and information about finger movement is obtained as results. We have acquired the data set consisting of 8,000 motions, which is divided into the training and evaluation data sets. The accuracy of the prediction of our model is about 89.32%.
