Exploiting the Invariant Structure for Controlling Multiple Muscles in Anthropomorphic Legs: III. Reproducing Hemiparetic Walking from Equilibrium Point- Based Synergies.

In the development of a robotic therapy system, tests must be first run to guarantee safety and performance of the system before actual human trials. Lower-limb robotic therapy system has an inherit injury risk and a human-like stunt robot is desirable. This study proposes such an alternative: anthropomorphic legs with a bio-inspired control method affording a human-like test bench for the robotic therapy system.
