A Human Joint Torque Estimation Method for Elbow Exoskeleton Control

Exoskeleton for motion assistance has obtained more and more attention due to its advantages in rehabilitation and assistance for daily life. This research designed an estimation method of human joint torque by the kinetic human–machine interaction between the operator’s elbow joint torque and the output of exoskeleton. The human elbow joint torque estimation was obtained by back propagation (BP) neural network with physiological and physical...
