A More Efficient Wearable Hip Exoskeleton: Moving Beyond Rigid Gait Algorithms
Engineers have developed a new control algorithm that allows exoskeletons to assist walking without relying on rigid, pre-programmed step predictions. By adding harmonic frequencies to joint angle feedback, the system matches previous metabolic benefits while consuming nearly 9 per cent less mechanical power.
