Motion Intention Analysis-Based Coordinated Control for Amputee-Prosthesis Interaction

Table 1

Comparison between dual-arm and dual-leg coordination.

ItemsDual-arm coordinationDual-leg coordination

System taskGrasping and holding object to track the target trajectorySupporting and moving the HAT of biped robot to realize stable walking
MethodsPlanning, control, and compensation of coordinated motion
Controlled objectHomogeneous armsHeterogeneous legs
Target objectGrasped and held objectThe HAT (Head, Arms, and Torso)
BaseFixedMobile
Control complexityRelative simpleComplicated
InterfaceMultiple fingersHip joints
Target trajectoryTask trajectory of grasped and held objectGait trajectory for the center of HAT or the center of crotch
MechanismClosed chain all the timeClosed chain in stance phase
Open chain in swing phase
ConstrainsKinematics and dynamicsDynamic constrains for open chain and both for closed chain
Motion patternDifferent for two armsSimilar for two legs (phase-difference)
