Summary

Although exoskeletons have been studied for many years, actual products have been sold on the market. However, there are still many limitations in the practical application of exoskeletons, and the control logic is also limited to the level of motor torque compensation, and lacks the consideration of overall motion stability (such as whether the wearer (driving, pilot) will fall). The purpose of this project is to establish a digital twin of this driving, which will perform the driving action in parallel, and calculate in parallel in the virtual environment the torque required to provide each joint torque to maintain stable walking without falling, and this torque can be used as a monitoring basis for the auxiliary torque of each axis for the exoskeleton. When the exoskeleton's movements are out of range of a stable gait, the controller can warn and attenuate the output of auxiliary forces, and on the other hand, it has the opportunity to analyze whether the intention of driving is to switch the movement mode - such as stopping, or sitting, squatting, etc.
