Proof of concept for lower limb exoskeleton with compliant actuators – Part II: impedance control

Start date

(continued mandate 4) The problem to be solved is to demonstrate that it is possible to use the principle of impedance control (with elastic actuators capable of perceiving and modulating applied forces) in a walking assistance context. The difficulty is that this demonstration must be possible without the presence of an exoskeleton, the aim here being to obtain evidence to support the development of an exoskeleton for the lower limbs.
