Abstract

The application provides an exoskeleton control method, device and system for powered lower limbs. The system comprises a first motor controller, a second motor controller, a third motor controller, afourth motor controller and a master control unit, wherein the first motor controller and the second motor controller separately acquire left and right knee joint angles and left and right knee jointcurrent signals sent from left and right knee joint motors and send the left and right knee joint angles and the left and right knee joint current signals to the master control unit; the third motorcontroller and the fourth motor controller separately acquire left and right hip joint angles and left and right hip joint current signals sent from left and right hip joint motors and send the left and right hip joint angles and the left and right hip joint current signals to the master control unit; and the master control unit calculates distances from feet of exoskeletons to the ground and a ground acting force according to the left and right knee joint angles, the left and right knee joint current signals, the left and right hip joint angles and the left and right hip joint current signalsand controls the exoskeletons to execute corresponding movement actions according to the distances from the feet of the exoskeletons to the ground and the ground acting force. Thus, the cost of the exoskeletons of the lower limbs in the aspect of data acquisition can be reduced, the complexity of a control system is lowered, and the stability of movement of the exoskeletons is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of exoskeleton robots, in particular to a method, device and system for controlling a powered lower limb exoskeleton. Background technique [0002] Powered lower extremity exoskeletons originated in the military field and were used to enhance soldiers' walking and weight-bearing capabilities. Later, they were gradually converted to civilian use. The purpose is to assist paraplegic patients to rebuild walking function and provide walking assistance for elderly people with weakened lower limb motor function. [0003] The exoskeleton exploration phase began in the 1960s, when Vukobratovic of the Mihailo Pupin Institute in Yugoslavia proposed the theory of the lower limb motor system and designed a powered humanoid exoskeleton, which was used for paraplegic patients for the first time. In the 1980s, powered exoskeletons entered the accumulation stage. Zhang Jichuan and others from Tsinghua University d...
