| description | This article presents a novel sensorless control system of assistive robotic ankle-foot prosthesis, two estimation algorithms were developed and an analogy between them has been made. The system actuator’s motor is a permanent magnet synchronous motor, unlike other powered ankle-foot, where the brushless DC motor and DC motor were used. Utilizing the permanent magnet synchronous motor will reduce the torque ripples and increase system ability to be overloaded compared to systems which utilize the brushless DC motor. Moreover, the ability of the machine to operate in all speed range makes this machine more suitable for the application. Both estimation algorithms are built using C-code and assessed in MATLAB Simulink. The estimation algorithms are used to provide motor and powered ankle-foot’s angular speed and position. Two-level control system is used to evaluate the estimation algorithms; the control system role is to mimic biological ankle-foot performance during normal ground level walking speed. Based on the result of this article the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is applicable for the application, as a result of the observer ability to estimate the motor load and angular position. On the other hand, extended Kalman filter (EKF) accuracy is affected by the load applied to the motor. Furthermore, the angular position is evaluated by integration of the angular speed which means integration of angular speed estimation error. |
