Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we developed an on-line learning system of gait pattern for a wearable robot to assist walking. A cost function of our learning system was defined by the sum of the measured arm loading force of a user and the power consumption of the motors during walking. Via-points of the joint trajectories were optimized so as to reduce the cost function by Newton-like method. We propose an on-line learning algorithm of the via-point parameters by RLS algorithm which achieves less number of iteration than a conventional method. We confirmed that the arm loading force of a user decreased while walking with a wearable robot with little change of power consumption by using the proposed algorithm.
