Force Tracking Control of Lower Extremity Exoskeleton Based on a New Recurrent Neural Network by Yuxuan Cao, Jie Chen, Li Gao, Jiqing Luo, Jinyun Pu, Shengli Song

“…It is difficult to develop a precise force tracking control approach for the exoskeleton because of the dynamics model uncertainty, external disturbances, and unknown human–robot interactive force lied in the system. In this paper, a control method based on a novel recurrent neural network, namely zeroing neural network (ZNN), is proposed to obtain the accurate force tracking. …”

A New Skeleton Model and the Motion Rhythm Analysis for Human Shoulder Complex Oriented to Rehabilitation Robotics by Song Zhibin, Ma Tianyu, Nie Chao, Niu Yijun

“…This paper proposes a new hybrid spatial model based on joint geometry constraints to describe the movement of the shoulder skeletal system and establish the position analysis equation of the model by a homogeneous coordinate transformation matrix and vector method, which can be used to calculate the kinematics of human-robot integrated system. The shoulder rhythm, the most remarkable particularity in shoulder complex kinematics and important reference for shoulder training strategy using robotics, is described and analyzed via the proposed skeleton model by three independent variables in this paper. …”
