description Adaptive compliance control is critical for rehabilitation robots to cope with the varying rehabilitation needs and enhance training safety. This article presents a trajectory deformation-based multi-modal adaptive compliance control strategy (TD-MACCS) for a wearable lower limb rehabilitation robot (WLLRR), which includes a high-level trajectory planner and a low-level position controller. Dynamic motion primitives (DMPs) and a trajectory deformation algorithm (TDA) are integrated into the high-level trajectory planner, generating multi-joint synchronized desired trajectories through physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). In particular, the amplitude modulation factor of DMPs and the deformation factor of TDA are adapted by a multi-modal adaptive regulator, achieving smooth switching of human-dominant mode, robot-dominant mode, and soft-stop mode. Besides, a linear active disturbance rejection controller is designed as the low-level position controller. Four healthy participants and two stroke survivors are recruited to conduct robot-assisted walking experiments using the TD-MACCS. The results show that the TD-MACCS can smoothly switch three control modes while guaranteeing trajectory tracking accuracy. Moreover, we find that appropriately increasing the upper bound of the deformation factor can enhance the average walking speed (AWS) and root mean square of trajectory deviation (RMSTD).
