Observer Based Method for Joint Torque Estimation in Active Orthoses ?
نویسندگان
چکیده
This contribution presents a new approach of estimating the joint torques for an active orthosis. The new approach combines inverse dynamics and measured ground reaction forces. The joint torques can easily be computed from the ground reaction forces, but the measurement is usually flawed. An obsererver is employed to estimate the disturbance of the measurements and restore the original joint torques. A model of the human lower extremity is presented and additional seat forces are introduced to model the seat. Simulation results on the Sit-to-Stand movement illustrate the effectivity of the new approach.

A hysteresis block is used in the structure of the adaptation mechanism, and the stability analysis is performe...
متن کاملDisturbance Observer Based Force Control of Robot Manipulator without Force Sensor
In this paper, a force estimation method is proposed for force control without force sensor. For this, a disturbance observer is applied to each joint of an n degrees of freedom manipulator to obtain a simple equivalent robot dynamics(SERD) being represented as an n independent double integrator system. To estimate the output of disturbance observer due to internal torque, the disturbance obser...

Abstract: Objectives: Flexion contractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint are of the most common complication result from surgical procedures and traumatic events. Orthotic interventions for treatment of contractures may include serial splinting, serial casting, dynamic and/ or static progressive orthoses, or a combination of these orthoses. This study aimed to determine the effect ...

متن کاملRobust H_∞ Controller design based on Generalized Dynamic Observer for Uncertain Singular system with Disturbance
This paper presents a robust ∞_H controller design, based on a generalized dynamic observer for uncertain singular systems in the presence of disturbance. The controller guarantees that the closed loop system be admissible. The main advantage of this method is that the uncertainty can be found in the system, the input and the output matrices. Also the generalized dynamic observer is used to est...
