Abstract
A method for controlling an ambulatory exoskeleton () linked to a user (), comprising the following steps: —measuring only the vertical component (Z, Z) of the pressure (R, R) under each foot () of the user (); —controlling actuators () such that the vertical component (Z, Z) of the resultant of the balancing forces (R, R) applied to the exoskeleton () and exerted by each foot () of the exoskeleton () on the ground is a function of the vertical component (Z, Z) of the pressure (R, R) measured under the corresponding foot () of the user ().
