Summary of the report
For patients with limb injuries caused by aging, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular or nervous system diseases and accidental injuries, rehabilitation training and robot-assisted sports are the best means to help the elderly and the disabled. However, the existing wearable robots lack human-machine cooperative hybrid intelligence, which makes it difficult for humans and machines to interact freely. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the level of hybrid intelligence of human-machine cooperation and realize the integration of man and machine. This paper has carried out long-term research on the control theory and method of wearable robots, and solved the following four major scientific problems: the movement intention cognition of the operating subject, the human-machine skill transfer mechanism and variable stiffness control, the human-machine strong coupling control optimization in the human-machine loop, and the human-machine verification of the operator for control safety.
