sEMG-based variable impedance control of lower-limb rehabilitation robot using wavelet neural network and model reference adaptive control

Purpose This paper aims to propose an innovative adaptive control method for lower-limb rehabilitation robots. Design/methodology/approach Despite carrying out various studies on the subject of rehabilitation robots, the flexibility and stability of the closed-loop control system is still a challenging problem. In the proposed method, surface electromyography (sEMG) and human force-based dual closed-loop control strategy is designed to...
