Abstract
To improve motion accuracy through functional electrical stimulation (FES) of forearm muscles, feedback control laws are applied to the index finger’s metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint. This paper introduces a proxy-based super-twisting algorithm (PSTA) for precise servo control of MP joints via FES. The PSTA combines first-order sliding mode control with a second-order super-twisting algorithm, effectively preventing windup during FES saturation and ensuring robust, accurate control. An implicit Euler method minimizes numerical chattering in the digital implementation. Experiments with Arduino and volunteers confirm the algorithm’s effectiveness.
