Abstract

Various examples are provided related to continuous control of exoskeletons. In one example, a method includes obtaining IMU sensor signals associated with an exoskeleton attached to a limb of a subject; generating an exoskeleton control signal in response to the IMU sensor signals, the exoskeleton control signal generated by a control policy neural network trained offline from the exoskeleton using musculoskeletal human modeling and exoskeletal modeling with dynamics randomization; and controlling joint torques of the exoskeleton exerted on the subject based upon the exoskeleton control signal.
