Human body consciousness recognition control device and method applied to exoskeleton robot
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of exoskeleton robot control systems, in particular to a human consciousness recognition control device and method applied to an exoskeleton robot.
Background
The exoskeleton robot is a wearable mechatronic device, can be worn on limbs of an operator, and provides functions such as protection, body support, rehabilitation training, exercise assistance and the like for the operator. After the paralyzed patient wears the exoskeleton, the paralyzed patient can stand/sit down, walk, go upstairs and downstairs and the like as normal people under the supporting action of the exoskeleton and the power driving action of the exoskeleton, so that the quality and the pleasure of the life of the paralyzed patient can be greatly improved. The exoskeleton technology combines the robot technologies of sensing, control, information fusion, mobile computing and the like, and combines human intelligence and the 'physical strength' of the robot. The exoskeleton robot designed for the paralyzed patient combines biomedical engineering technologies such as biomechanics, gait analysis, sports medicine, rehabilitation engineering and the like to replace the lost lower limb movement function of the paralyzed patient, so that the paralyzed patient can regain normal movement ability.
For paralyzed patients with completely no perception and strength of lower limbs, the exoskeleton robot generally adopts a position control method, which relates to the purpose of acquiring people, so that the purpose is changed into a proper output force of a motor/hydraulic pressure. There are two ways to obtain human intent: directly obtaining the operator intention and indirectly obtaining the operator intention. Among the methods for directly acquiring the operator's intention are from EMG data or the interaction force between a person and a robot, and indirectly acquiring data from exoskeleton joints, predicting the operator's intention and then amplifying the exercise effect.
However, sensors for directly acquiring the operator intention are not mature enough, for example, data noise of EMG and difficulty of modeling and calibration are large, for example, an exoskeleton of Hybrid assisted limbus (HAL5) adopts EMG signals to control a robot, but 2 months of time is required to calibrate the EMG signals, and the indirectly acquired operator intention is easy to make a judgment, that is, the movement intention of a wearer cannot be quickly and accurately acquired automatically.
Therefore, it is an urgent need to solve the problems of the prior art to provide an accurate and fast human consciousness recognition control device and method for exoskeleton robots.
