Total Energy Shaping for Task-Invariant Control of Lower-Limb Exoskeletons
We present a total energy shaping control methodology for the development of portable lower-limb assistive exoskeletons and orthotic devices that help reduce the human’s effort and augment natural motion. Current robotic exoskeletons restrict joint motion to pre-defined position trajectories during gait rehabilitation; such methods aim to replicate...

Virtual Body-Weight Support via Lower-Limb Exoskeleton
Summary:This is a novel control system for powered lower-limb exoskeletons (or orthoses) that provides body-weight support (BWS) for people who have sustained a stroke and other neurological injury. Patients are provided with BWS during conventional gait retraining to help them produce the coordinated muscle activities needed for walking. Although current...
