This disclosure proposes a multimodal motion switching control method and device for a mining intelligent assistive
exoskeleton, relating to the field of mining
safety equipment technology. The method includes: collecting multimodal
sensing data from the wearer, extracting temporal features and inputting them into a lightweight classifier to identify motion patterns and output confidence scores; when the
confidence score continuously exceeds a threshold, a
mode switching intention is determined; the control
subroutine corresponding to the current
motion mode is invoked to obtain
impedance parameters and the desired trajectory; based on the
impedance parameters, the desired trajectory, and the current trajectory, interpolation fusion is performed using a
hybrid transition strategy to generate smooth transition joint control commands to control the
exoskeleton. This disclosure enables real-time and accurate identification of motion intentions in confined underground environments, smooth and compliant switching between
multiple modes, effectively reducing switching
impact, ensuring motion continuity and human-
machine collaboration safety, and improving the adaptability and overall
operational safety of the
exoskeleton in confined environments.
