A hybrid inverse dynamic-neural network approach to lower limb exoskeleton control
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-22)A powered machine that is wearable over all or part of the human body can be referred to as a powered exoskeleton. The role of powered exoskeletons is usually to provide ergonomic structural support while using motor power ... -
Smart Exercise Adaptive Control of a Three Degree of Freedom Upper-limb Manipulator Robot
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-15)An adaptive velocity field controller for robotic manipulators is proposed in this thesis. The control objective is to cause the user to exercise in a manner that optimizes a criterion related to the user’s mechanical ... -
Vital Energy Regulator: A Time-Independent Solution for Control of Lower Limb Exoskeletons
(IEEE, 2021-10)In this letter, we introduce a novel control strategy called Virtual Energy Regulator (VER) for lower limb rehabilitation exoskeletons. Unlike the conventional trajectory tracking controllers, VER, which is a time-independent ...
