Energy-Efficient Power Assist Control with Periodic Disturbance Observer and Its Experimental Verification Using an Electric Bicycle

This paper addresses the problem of energy-efficient power assist control for quasiperiodic motions. The simplest assist method would be to apply additional torque in proportion to the instantaneous value of torque generated by a user. In our previous study, it was shown that energy efficiency impro...
