DOI: 10.1016/j.conengprac.2018.08.008
Abstract: Abstract In this paper, the problem of trajectory tracking, for an Actuated-Ankle–Foot-Orthosis(AAFO) to assist the gait of paretic patients, is addressed. The control strategy is based on the system’s flatness property, which allows the development… read more here.
