A device comprised of at least a pair of accelerometers and a tilt sensor mounted in fixed relation to a datum plane defining surface (sole of a shoe) may be used for extracting kinematic variables including linear and rotational acceleration, velocity and position. These variables may be resolved into a selected direction thereby permitting both relative and absolute kinematic quantities to be determined. The acceleration is determined using a small cluster of two mutually perpendicular accelerometers mounted on a shoe. Angular orientation of the foot may be determined by double integration of the foot's angular acceleration (which requires a third accelerometer substantially parallel to one of the two orthogonal accelerometers). The two orthogonal accelerations are then resolved into a net horizontal acceleration or other selected direction which may be integrated to find the foot velocity in the selected direction. The average of the foot velocity corresponds to the subject's gait speed.

The invention discloses a mechanical arm posture robustness control method based on an interference estimator. The mechanical arm robustness control method comprises steps of establishing a mechanical arm dynamic model and performing feedback linearity on the mechanic arm dynamic model to simplify the dynamic model into a disturbed double integration model, setting a double-component posture robustness controller in order to realize mechanical arm posture robustness tracking control, and converting a compensated control signal to a voltage signal to input into an actuator so as to complete posture robustness control of the mechanical arm under a disturbed condition.
