Hybrid Data-Driven Predictive Control for Robust and Reactive Exoskeleton Locomotion Synthesis

Kejun Li, A. D. Ames

Robotic Intelligence

🎯 What it does: Proposed and verified the hybrid data-driven predictive control framework (HDDPC), achieving robust and adaptive gait for exoskeletons by simultaneously planning foot contact schedules and continuous domain trajectories.

Hybrid Data-Model-Driven External Force Estimation for Manipulators via Generalized Momentum-Based Third-Order Observer*

Haohao Zhang, Zhongyi Ren

Robotic Intelligence

🎯 What it does: Proposes a hierarchical fusion framework, first using a multi-layer perceptron neural network (MLPNN) to compensate for joint force residuals, and then estimating the external forces acting on the robotic arm through a third-order external force observer based on generalized momentum.
