Robust adaptive PD-like control of lower limb rehabilitation robot based on human movement data
Qichun Zhang –– This paper presents a robust adaptive PD controller for robotics systems which are used for lower limb rehabilitation. The topic is insurable combining the multi-diciplinary research materials including the control system design, rehabilitation engineering, robotics systems and human-robotic interaction. The human bio-signals have been involved into the design to enhance the performance of the system and the framework would generate impacts on many mentioned aspects.
