Variable Impedance Control Based on Impedance Estimation Model with EMG Signals during Extension and Flexion Tasks for a Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robotic System

Rehabilitation robotic devices could be used as an effective tool to restore impaired motion functionality. Due to the human-robot cooperative nature of rehabilitation, these systems are expected to be user-oriented i.e., they should be controlled considering users dynamic characteristics. In this article, we proposed a variable impedance control, ... Read More»
