Abstract
A wearable robot and method for controlling the wearable robot having at least one leg unit involves: (a) obtaining at least one input signal from at least one encoder tracking a hip joint angle versus time with the at least one encoder attached to the wearable robot and corresponding to the at least one leg unit; (b) windowing the at least one input signal within a window size based on time versus the hip joint angle; (c) decomposing the at least one input signal with a Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT); (d) identifying at least one gait event in a gait cycle by using the DWT; (e) computing temporal gait parameters based on the at least one gait event; (f) generating an assistive force in the at least one leg unit in response to the temporal gait parameters.
