Abstract
An enhanced exoskeleton system is disclosed comprising an exoskeleton, a base layer comprising at least one sensor, an exoskeleton actuator configured to actuate the exoskeleton, a control subsystem comprising one or more processors, and memory elements including instructions that, when executed, cause the processors to perform operations comprising: receiving sensor data from the sensor, determining a future movement intent of a user of the exoskeleton, determining a command for an exoskeleton actuator based on the future movement intent, and communicating the command to the exoskeleton actuator whereby the exoskeleton is actuated by the exoskeleton actuator. In some embodiments, the sensor data comprises an anticipatory data value from an anticipatory sensor. In some embodiments, the sensor data comprises an anticipatory data value from an electromyography (EMG) sensor.
