Supporting Materials: Performance of prominent torque control methods for tethered lower-limb exoskeletons during human walking
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experiments were conducted over the course of 3 days, with all data for each high-level assistance controller collected on the same day. Low-level torque controllers were collected in the same order for each high-level controller, except for a change in the order of the PAS controller for the Time-based desired torque (which was accidentally skipped, then caught at the end of the collection). The exact sequence is shown in Table S1.

Comparison of Torque Controllers for an Ankle Exoskeleton with a Series Elastic Actuator Driven by a Uni-directional Bowden Cable during Walking
Exoskeletons have been used for human performance restoration and enhancement for many years. Due to the dynamic nature of human locomotion, torque control is widely used in lower-limb exoskeleton assistance during stance phases of walking. In these systems, series-elastic actuators (SEA) are commonly used to provide low error torque tracking in the presence of unknown and changing human dynami...

Exoskeletons are utilized extensively in robotic rehabilitation and power augmentation purposes. One of the most recognised control algorithms utilized in this field is the impedance controller. Impedance control approach provides the capability of realizing different rehabilitation exercises by tuning the target impedance gains. Trial and error experimental approach is one of the most common m...
متن کاملThe Passive Series Stiffness That Optimizes Torque Tracking for a Lower-Limb Exoskeleton in Human Walking
This study uses theory and experiments to investigate the relationship between the passive stiffness of series elastic actuators and torque tracking performance in lower-limb exoskeletons during human walking. Through theoretical analysis with our simplified system model, we found that the optimal passive stiffness matches the slope of the desired torque-angle relationship. We also conjectured ...

Robotic devices have been used in post-stroke or trauma neurorehabilitation process for years. Due to the uncertain, complex, and changing physical human-robot-interaction dynamics involved and task-specific objectives for rehabilitation, control of this type of devices remains a vast area of research. This thesis seeks systematicness in rehabilitation robot control design by developing control...
متن کاملInfluence of Power Delivery Timing on the Energetics and Biomechanics of Humans Wearing a Hip Exoskeleton
A broad goal in the field of powered lower limb exoskeletons is to reduce the metabolic cost of walking. Ankle exoskeletons have successfully achieved this goal by correctly timing a plantarflexor torque during late stance phase. Hip exoskeletons have the potential to assist with both flexion and extension during walking gait, but the optimal timing for maximally reducing metabolic cost is unkn...
