Abstract

To reduce the tracking error between the exo-skeleton and the human body, a control algorithm based on the admittance principle is proposed. The algorithm draws on the admittance characteristics of velocity and force in the process of moving objects. A man-machine coupling dynamics model is established and a reasonable control function is designed to shield the admittance characteristics of the exo-skeleton. The stability of the control algorithm is analyzed and the admittance parameters are optimized. The simulation results show that the tracking error between the exo-skeleton controlled by the optimized admittance and the calf of the human is 0.01°. The optimized admittance control can achieve more accurate motion tracking.
