Abstract

Problems of simulating the processes of exoskeleton sit-to-stand movement are considered. A mathematical model of the device is described. The diagram of an automatic control system is proposed, based on the ZMP method. The results of the mathematical simulating are given. It is shown that the proposed control system makes verticalization possible without falling from a wide range of initial conditions.
