Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The wearable device and flexible manipulator technology are mainly based on mechatronic, actuation, control, is a research field that deeply integrates bionics and engineering technology, and has wide applications in healthcare mechatronics, strength-enhancing devices, aid-older and aid-disable equipment. Hence, the technology development of ‘Motion Planning and Control of Wearable Device Driven by Advanced Actuator’ is an important field for the development of the Interdisciplinary fields.
To improve the system reliability, security, and performance, some focused problems should be addressed such as motion planning, posture identification, model uncertainty, disturbance, human–machine impedance, actuator driving, cooperative motion. Hence, many technologies are presented to solve these problems, but are not limited to motion panning, reliable actuation driving and transmission, model identification and estimation, human–machine cooperative control, and advanced applications.
This Special Issue focuses on the new development of the advanced actuator driving, reliable control and intelligent control techniques under wearable device, which can be promoted in exoskeleton robot and smart mobility system. This is a worldwide platform to share the latest achievements and valuable ideas. The potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
