Robotic lower limb exoskeleton: A control software

Robotic exoskeletons are designed to assist people with gait abnormalities in their locomotion, increase physical capabilities, or rehabilitate patients after surgery or patients suffering from various neurological disorders [1]. The system is composed of several subsystems such as electrical, mechanical, digital network, and embedded control software. The main purpose of the control software is to drive an exoskeleton along the trajectory, providing the correct activation of the electric motors and ensuring the safety of the users [2]. The current project depicts embedded software for robotic exoskeletons to understand back-end and front-end functionalities. A graphical interface is provided to the user to facilitate interaction with the hardware and enable quick system diagnosis. To manage the movement and safety functions, embedded control software was developed to perform the necessary control functions and manage the system's communication network.
