contents Electrooculography (EOG) is widely used for gaze tracking in Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC). However, baseline drift caused by low-frequency noise significantly impacts the accuracy of EOG signals, creating challenges for further sensor fusion. This paper presents an Eye Movement Feature-Guided De-drift (FGD) method for mitigating drift artifacts in EOG signals. The proposed approach leverages active eye-movement feature recognition to reconstruct the feature-extracted EOG baseline and adaptively correct signal drift while preserving the morphological integrity of the EOG waveform. The FGD is evaluated using both simulation data and real-world data, achieving a significant reduction in mean error. The average error is reduced to 0.896° in simulation, representing a 36.29% decrease, and to 1.033° in real-world data, corresponding to a 26.53% reduction. Despite additional and unpredictable noise in real-world data, the proposed method consistently outperforms conventional de-drifting techniques, demonstrating its effectiveness in practical applications such as enhancing human performance augmentation.
