Surface electromyography (sEMG) signals are the sum of action potentials emitted by many motor units; they contain the information of muscle contraction patterns and intensity, so they can be used as a simple and reliable source for grasping mode recognition. This paper introduces the InRes-ACNet (inception–attention–ACmix-ResNet50) model, a novel deep-learning approach based on ResNet50, incorporating multi-scale modules and self-attention mechanisms. The proposed model aims to improve gesture recognition performance by enhancing its ability to extract channel feature information within sparse sEMG signals. The InRes-ACNet model is evaluated on the NinaPro DB1 and NinaPro DB5 datasets; the recognition accuracy for these datasets can reach 87.94% and 87.04%, respectively, and recognition accuracy can reach 88.37% in the grasping mode prediction of an electromyography manipulator. The results show that the fusion of multi-scale modules and self-attention mechanisms endows a strong ability for the task of gesture recognition based on sparse sEMG signals.
