Abstract

Self-Balanced lower limb exoskeleton (SBLLE) is designed for rehabilitation and walking assistance for dyskinesia persons with spinal or lower limb muscle injury to regain the locomotion ability in daily activities. In this paper, an innovative feedback control strategy for a fully actuated SBLLE is presented, which helps users to walk stably without crutches or other assistive devices. Exoskeleton is approximated as a simplified center of mass (CoM) model. Based on this simplified dynamic model, the trajectory generation and walking feedback control strategy, which enhances the locomotion stability, is introduced. The proposed strategy is implemented on our exoskeleton, AutoLEE-II, and its stability and dynamic performance are demonstrated in the stable walking simulations and experiments for exoskeleton with a female subject.
