Abstract

In this study, we propose a model and an adaptive backstepping tracking control method for omnidirectional rehabilitative training walker. The aim of the study is to design a stable tracking controller that can guarantee accurate tracking motion of the omnidirectional walker considering the interaction forces of the user and walker. A novel fuzzy model identification method was proposed to describe the interaction forces by using the reduced values of tracking performance. Further, an adaptive backstepping controller was developed to compensate the interaction forces on the basis of the identified model and adapt the change of user’s mass. The asymptotic stability of the trajectory tracking error and the velocity tracking error were guaranteed. As an application, simulation and experiment results were provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design procedures.

The rehabilitative walker can help patients undergoing training move in any direction on a flat surface, and can be programmed to follow specific training trajectories
