摘要

Locomotion identification is crucial for high-level exoskeleton control, enabling real-time recognition of transitions across modes (e.g., overground walking, ramps, stairs). This paper presents an approach that relies solely on exoskeleton sensor data, combining a heuristic and a data-driven method based on a normative dataset. Preliminary results from 5 healthy participants show the method’s ability to distinguish between locomotion modes. Future work will integrate a controller that applies the desired torque to assist users in performing each movement.
