An omni-directional walker, which is able to realize diverse motion groups, has been developed for walking rehabilitation. In a previous study, an adaptive control algorithm was developed to deal with the center of gravity shift and the load changes caused by the users. However, the control parameters in the nonlinear adaptive control law were manually adjusted, which led to lower accuracy. In this paper, a neural network for automatically adjustment of the adaptive control parameters is proposed. According to the rehabilitation program designed by the physical therapists, we simulate the walker's movement along a linear path. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the parameter optimization using neural network.
