Data-driven Characterization of Human Interaction for Model-based Control of Powered Prostheses [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 This paper proposes a data-driven method for powered prosthesis control that achieves stable walking without the need for additional sensors on the human. The key idea is to extract the nominal gait and the human interaction information from motion capture data, and reconstruct the walking behavior with a dynamic model of the human-prosthesis system ...

A Learning Quasi-stiffness Control Framework of a Powered Trans-femoral Prosthesis for Adaptive Speed and Incline Walking [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Impedance-based control represents a prevalent strategy in the powered trans femoral prostheses because of its ability to reproduce natural walking. However, most existing studies have developed impedance-based prosthesis controllers for specific tasks, while creating a task-adaptive controller for variable-task walking continues to be a significant ...

Trip Recovery in Lower-Limb Prostheses using Reachable Sets of Predicted Human Motion [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 People with lower-limb loss, the majority of which use passive prostheses, exhibit a high incidence of falls each year. Powered lower-limb prostheses have the potential to reduce fall rates by actively helping the user recover from a stumble, but the unpredictability of the human response makes it difficult to design controllers that ensure a ...
