Extended State Observer-Based Sliding Mode Control Design of Two-DOF Lower Limb Exoskeleton

Due to some model uncertainties and unknown friction disturbances that exist in the 2-DOF lower limb exoskeleton, a linear extended state observer (LESO) is proposed to estimate the unmeasurable angular velocity of two joints and the lumped uncertainties caused by friction disturbance and hydraulic...

description Due to some model uncertainties and unknown friction disturbances that exist in the 2-DOF lower limb exoskeleton, a linear extended state observer (LESO) is proposed to estimate the unmeasurable angular velocity of two joints and the lumped uncertainties caused by friction disturbance and hydraulic parametric uncertainties. Meanwhile, by using the Lyapunov technique, a sliding mode controller is designed to improve the dynamic performance and the steady state accuracy of two joint angle responses in human–exoskeleton cooperative motion. By regulating the sliding mode controller gain, both the system state errors and estimation errors of the LESO are reduced in an arbitrary boundary of zero neighborhood. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is verified with both simulation and experimental results for one operator-wearable test, to guarantee that the joint position tracking performance and human–exoskeleton impedance torques are suppressed in a satisfactory boundary.
