Autonomous multi-joint soft exosuit with augmentation-power-based control parameter tuning reduces energy cost of loaded walking

SLSangjun LeeKyungpook National UniversityJKJ. KimSeoul National UniversityLBLauren BakerHarvard University

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate how tuning control parameters based on ankle augmentation power affects walking efficiency.
  • Employ a multi-joint soft exosuit designed for human use.
  • Tune control parameters specifically to enhance ankle augmentation power.
  • Analyze wearer's walking economy using subject-specific adjustments.
  • The exosuit significantly improved walking economy.
  • Specific control parameter tuning reduced the energy cost of walking under load.
  • Further studies are proposed to explore biomechanics and energetics in more detail.

Abstract

The autonomous multi-joint soft exosuit with subject-specific control parameters tuned based on positive ankle augmentation power demonstrated the ability to improve human walking economy. Future studies will further investigate the effect of the augmentation-power-based control parameter tuning on wearer biomechanics and energetics.
