Development of an adaptive control architecture and test-bench validation for a knee joint of a transfemoral prosthesis
Motivation of the study. Transfemoral lower-limb amputations significantly impact mobility and quality of life, motivating continuous research and development in the field of active prosthetic devices. In recent years, powered transfemoral prostheses have emerged as a promising solution to restore more natural and efficient gait patterns by actively assisting the user during locomotion. A key enabling factor for such devices is the development of advanced control strategies capable of adapting to different users, walking conditions, and task requirements. Objective of the thesis. The objective of this thesis is the development and validation of an adaptive control architecture for the knee… Read more
