Abstract

Human-robot interaction force information is of great significance for realizing safe, compliant and efficient rehabilitation training. In order to accurately estimate the interaction force during human-robot interaction, an adaptive method for estimation of human-robot interaction force is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the dynamics of human-robot system are modeled, which allows to establish a state space equation. Then, the interaction force is described by a polynomial function of time, and is introduced into the state space equation as a system state. Meanwhile, the Kalman filter is adopted to estimate the extended state of system online. Moreover, in order to deal with the uncertainty of system noise covariance matrix, sage-husa adaptive Kalman filter is used to correct the covariance matrices of system noises online. Finally, experiments were carried out on a lower limb rehabilitation robot, and the results show that the proposed method can precisely estimate the interaction force and also has good real-time performance.
