Abstract

Developing wearable robots with predictive closed-loop control of musculotendon loads can enhance bio-protection and reduce injury risks. Model-based Predictive Control (MPC) of these devices demands computationally efficient models. Once a suitable model is developed [1], personalizing it through calibration for users is essential. This paper outlines the procedure for calibrating a personalized model of plantarflexors (PFs) suitable for hopping and walking tasks.
