Method and system for controlling lower limb exoskeleton under brain-computer interface intention confidence

ActiveCN121979398BHuman bodyMachine
This application discloses a method and system for controlling a lower limb exoskeleton using a brain-computer interface based on intent confidence, relating to the field of medical rehabilitation technology. First, the system identifies the original electroencephalogram (EEG) signal to obtain intent confidence, and maps an impedance parameter set including joint stiffness and damping coefficients by combining gait phase information. Second, it extracts motion position and interaction force errors, compares the intent confidence with the actual execution state using a sliding time window to obtain neural matching errors, and merges these three into a total composite error. Simultaneously, it assesses human-machine coupling compliance based on changes in human joint angles and exoskeleton torque, and generates a safety gain coefficient. Finally, it performs gain calculations on the total composite error based on the impedance parameter set, and corrects it with the safety gain coefficient to obtain the target control torque for output to the actuator. This constructs a neural-force-motor three-loop architecture, achieving compliant and adaptive on-demand assistance and highly safe human-machine collaborative rehabilitation with defensive protection.
