Design of a Data-Oriented Control System for Walking Support

Abstract

In the development of the aging society, it is important for patients who has physical disabilities to use the adaptive welfare equipment. However, it is difficult to support them suitably by using general welfare equipment because there are a lot of individual disabilities. Therefore, the adaptive welfare equipment is needed in near future. In this study, 1-parameter tuning which is one of the self-tuning control scheme in the process industries is applied to a welfare equipment. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
