摘要
En 中文
This paper presents a human-machine interface to control exoskeletons that utilizes electrical signals from the muscles of the operator as the main means of information transportation. These signals are recorded with electrodes attached to the skin on top of selected muscles and reflect the activation of the observed muscle. They are evaluated by a sophisticated but simplified biomechanical model of the human body to derive the desired action of the operator. A support action is computed in accordance to the desired action and is executed by the exoskeleton. The biomechanical model fuses results from different biomechanical and biomedical research groups and performs a sensible simplification considering the intended application. Some of the model parameters reflect properties of the individual human operator and his or her current body state. A calibration algorithm for these parameters is presented that relies exclusively on sensors mounted on the exoskeleton. An exoskeleton for knee joint support was designed and constructed to verify the model and to investigate the interaction between operator and machine in experiments with force support during everyday movements.
