Abstract

In the process of knee rehabilitation, the traditional control method has a fixed trajectory and cannot balance the early high-precision tracking and the later human-machine compliance. This paper proposes an iterative learning control (ILC) scheme based on the dynamic adjustment mechanism of phased learning rate. To begin with, A single degree-of-freedom kinetic model of the knee exoskeleton was constructed using the subject's anatomical data. Subsequently, this paper designs a stepwise renewal law that uses a high learning rate to accelerate the establishment of motor memory during the passive rehabilitation period, and a stepwise downward adjustment of the learning rate during the active rehabilitation period to enhance the compliance of the system to the body's active force. The simulation results show that the fluctuation of root mean square error (RMSE) under active interference is much smaller than that of the traditional fixed gain algorithm. Microscopic analysis further confirmed that the strategy could effectively inhibit the torque distortion caused by human-machine confrontation, and while ensuring the stability of the rehabilitation trajectory, it gave the system good physical flexibility, which provided theoretical support for full-cycle personalized rehabilitation.

Control Strategy for a Lower-Limb Rehabilitation Exoskeleton Based on Dual-Impedance Control

Fixed assistance cannot match changing lower-limb motor capability, while excessive intervention can suppress voluntary effort. This paper proposes assistance-as-needed control using position-velocity dual impedance. The framework defines a motion-state parameter from trajectory error and human-robot interaction force;...

Optimization of Control Functions of an Adaptive Treadmill Platform for Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Systems

Introduction . Restoring independent walking requires rehabilitation aids that enable intensive training while preserving the natural variability of movement. Most researchers typically examine no more than three process-related indicators, all within a single measurement loop. These parameters include, f...

IMPLEMENTATION AND VALIDATION OF A PID-CONTROLLED MASTER-SLAVE EXOSKELETON ARM FOR PRECISION ELBOW REHABILITATION

Weakness in the arm after a stroke often makes everyday tasks hard to manage. Because robotic sleeves can guide repeated motions, they may help regain movement over time. A new approach is presented in which one limb takes charge and the second follows, tied together by a digital twin that adjusts motion with rapid res...

Cascade Control with Reinforcement Learning for an Industrial Exoskeleton

This paper presents an adaptive control framework for an industrial lower-limb exoskeleton based on cascade control combined with reinforcement learning (RL). The multilevel hierarchical structure of the cascade controller effectively decouples the fast inner-loop current and torque dynamics from the slower outer-loop...
