Unilateral Lower Extremity Exoskeleton Utilizing Sensor Fusion Algorithms

Electromyography (EMG) and Inertial Measurement (IMU) sensors are increasingly associated with exoskeletons and prosthetics. Coordination and synchronization of these sensors with a sensor fusion algorithm modifying an array of multiple armband sensors allows sensing the user's intended movement and controlling a unilateral lower extremity exoskeleton.
