The paper investigates the PID control of exoskeleton applied to robot-assisted lower extremity rehabilitation. The developed exoskeleton consists of 4 joints, which processes merits of back drivability, precise positioning capabilities, and zero backlash due to its embedded Harmonic drive transmission (HDT) and Elmo driver. For the trajectory tracking, a control based on PID has been presented and implemented in the Elmo servo driver. The experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed system and control approach.
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.
