Description
Summary:This paper emphasizes a software-controlled lower limb exoskeleton for the physically disabled. The exoskeletons available in the market are electro-mechanical systems that incorporate precise control algorithms so as to maintain high operational efficiency. The experimental setup in the study comprises of hardware and software modules. The proposed method in this paper uses a knowledge base that stores the information regarding the knee angle trajectory of healthy and disabled people. A suitable software application is developed to determine the amount of compensation in the knee dynamics required to overcome the disability, and the system is run accordingly. The smooth implementation of the assistive device through the developed software module is demonstrated via experimental studies.
