Gait analysis for control and optimization of Exoskeletons
Project Description
By analyzing the biomechanics of human gait, design locomotion modes/ states and control for an exoskeleton. Control strategy from high level gait control to low level motor control needs to be coordinated towards the overall motion control optimization.
