Although this kind of technology has achieved the assistance function to some extent, it mainly faces the industrial bending work scene and focuses on the assistance of forward bending action of the trunk. This kind of prior art often has insufficient adaptability to continuous ramp walking scenes, and it is difficult to effectively respond to the dynamic changes of human posture and torque demand during uphill and downhill processes.
