Abstract

The paper proposes an upper limb exoskeleton interaction force control method based on active motion intention recognition to address the problems of lack of patient active participation willingness and poor flexibility of the rehabilitation training control method during the middle and late stages of rehabilitation training. Initially, this paper establishes the human-machine interaction force model by analyzing the human-machine interaction dynamics and statics of the upper limb rehabilitation exoskeleton. Moreover, a method for active intention recognition based on interaction force is proposed using a neural network with a radial basis. During the active training process, the adaptive impedance control method based on the interaction force is proposed to increase the range of motion during rehabilitation. The bounded matrix parameter adaptive matrix control method is compared, and experimental results demonstrate that the method proposed in this paper can effectively reduce the human-machine interaction force, improve the flexibility of the exoskeleton robotic arm, and increase the patient’s willingness to participate actively.
