Abstract
This paper presents studies in the design and control of single leg exoskeleton for hemiplegia
mobility in simulation environment. The exoskeleton is designed to support the affected side of
the hemiplegia patient while the other leg functions normally. Hip, knee and ankle joints for
both humanoid leg and exoskeleton of the affected side are controlled using PD-Fuzzy control
to obtain the required natural torque to allow the exoskeleton to compensate for the deficiency
in affected leg to achieve normal symmetric gait. The controller is implemented in MATLAB,
and the system behaviour observed in Visual Nastran 4D (VN4D) during simulation. Simulation
results show that the exoskeleton can support the humanoid with the required augmentation
using the proposed design and control.
