Simulation Techniques and Control Schemes in Electromyography for a Lower Limb and Power Assist Exoskeleton
This paper represents the first part of our work in which a successful exoskeleton system has been designed. With this design, the concentration is on effects of compliant human €“ exoskeleton robot on kinematics and muscle activity during human walking with or without carrying loads. In order to achieve these aims, two control methods are used: kinematic and surface electromyography (sEMG) €“ based control. In this article, three simulation techniques of sEMG signal are investigated. The obtained results of this work are very useful in designing and testing our actual exoskeleton system.
