Switching Assistance for Exoskeletons During Cyclic Motions

This paper proposes a novel control algorithm for torque-controlled exoskeletons assisting cyclic movements. The control strategy is based on the injection of energy parcels into the human-robot system with a timing that minimizes perturbations, i.e., when the angular momentum is maximum. Electromyo...
