Research of Force Amplification Control Strategy of Lower Extremity Exoskeleton

Li Yang, Guan Xiaorong, Xu Cheng

Abstract— In order to gain a feasible control strategy that is appropriate for lower extremity exoskeleton, a man-machine force amplification control strategy was proposed, and the joint simulation by using Adams and Matlab/Simulink for the control strategy was carried out. It proves that the lower extremity exoskeleton with the man-machine force amplification control strategy can effectively help human body bearing heavy payload, and can reduce the energy consumption of human body in the process of walking.

Index Terms— lower extremity exoskeleton; man-machine force amplification; control Strategy; joint simulation; power support effect;
