A virtual prototype design and corresponding mathematical model analysis is presented. To obtain a stable and smooth synthesized gait, the zero-moment-point (ZMP) theory and three spline interpolation method have been combined and applied. A novel data-driven model free control strategy, called Time-Delay Estimation based intelligent PID (TDE-iPID) combined with Equivalent Sliding Mode Control (TDE-iPIDESMC), is developed for the trajectory tracking of the planned gait. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed planning gait and controllers, the exoskeleton system is implemented on the co-simulation platform composing of Adams and MATLAB/Simulink. The corresponding cosimulation results show better performances than the compared classical PID and TDE-iPID methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
