A Skill-Inspired Adaptive Fuzzy Control Framework for Symmetric Gait Tracking with Sparse Sensor Fusion in Lower-Limb Exoskeletons

Résumé

This paper presents a real-time framework for bilateral gait reconstruction and adaptive joint control using sparse inertial sensing. The system estimates full lower-limb motion from a single-side inertial measurement unit (IMU) by applying a pipeline that includes signal smoothing, temporal alignment via Dynamic Time Warping (DTW), and motion modeling using Gaussian Mixture Models with Regression (GMM-GMR). Contralateral leg trajectories are inferred using both ideal and adaptive symmetry-based models to capture inter-limb variations. The reconstructed motion serves as reference input for joint-level control. A classical Proportional–Integral–Derivative (PID) controller is first evaluated, demonstrating satisfactory results under simplified dynamics but notable performance loss when virtual stiffness and gravity compensation are introduced. To address this, an adaptive fuzzy PID controller is implemented, which dynamically adjusts control gains based on real-time tracking error through a fuzzy inference system. This approach enhances control stability and motion fidelity under varying conditions. The combined estimation and control framework enables accurate bilateral gait tracking and smooth joint control using minimal sensing, offering a practical solution for wearable robotic systems such as exoskeletons or smart prosthetics.
