Design and control of a lower-limb exoskeleton rehabilitation of the elderly are the main challenge for health care in the past decades. In order to satisfy the requirements of the elderly or disabled users, this paper presents a novel design and adaptive fuzzy control of lower-limb empowered rehabilitation, namely MOVING UP. Different from other rehabilitation devices, this article considers active rehabilitation training devices. Firstly, a novel product design method based on user experience is proposed for the lower-limb elderly exoskeleton rehabilitation. At the same time, in order to achieve a stable operation control for the assistant rehabilitation system, an adaptive fuzzy control scheme is discussed. Finally, the feasibility of the design and control method is validated with a detailed simulation study and the human-interaction test. With the booming demand in the global market for the assistive lower-limb exoskeleton, the methodology developed in this paper will bring more research and manufacturing interests.

AbstractThis study considers the tracking control problem of the nonstrict-feedback nonlinear system with unknown backlash-like hysteresis, and a finite-time adaptive fuzzy control scheme is developed to address this problem. More precisely, the fuzzy systems are employed to approximate the unknown nonlinearities, and the design difficulties caused by the nonlower triangular structure are also overcome by using the property of fuzzy systems. Besides, the effect of unknown hysteresis input is compensated by approximating an intermediate variable. With the aid of finite-time stability theory, the proposed control algorithm could guarantee that the tracking error converges to a smaller region. Finally, a simulation example is provided to further verify the above theoretical results.

This paper concentrates on the adaptive fuzzy control problem for stochastic nonlinear large-scale systems with constraints and unknown dead zones. By introducing the state-dependent function, the constrained closed-loop system is transformed into a brand-new system without constraints, which can realize the same control objective. Then, fuzzy logic systems (FLSs) are used to identify the unknown nonlinear functions, the dead zone inverse technique is utilized to compensate for the dead zone effect, and a robust adaptive fuzzy control scheme is developed under the backstepping frame. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, it is proved ultimately that all signals in the closed-loop system are bounded and the tracking errors converge to a small neighborhood of the origin. Finally, an example based on an actual system is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
