A Multi-Purpose Finite State-Based Standing Controller for a Powered Transfemoral Prosthesis

This thesis presents the design and testing of a standing controller for a powered transfemoral prosthesis that is capable of real-time ground slope adaptation and sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transitions. The controller is implemented as a finite state machine that performs state transitions based...
