通过用户偏好反馈,快速学习髋外骨骼的最优助力模式。
Rapid Online Learning of Hip Exoskeleton Assistance Preferences
- 用成对比较法主动询问用户偏好,实时更新助力策略。
- 8名受试者偏好不同助力模式,且与个人行走方式密切相关。
- 助力与动作同步可减少设备负功,适合个性化外骨骼研究。
髋外骨骼因适应性强、适用场景广而日益流行,但个性化助力常需耗时调校和复杂算法,且多数方法忽略用户反馈。本文提出一种快速学习用户助力偏好的新方法:通过随机生成不同助力参数组合,主动向用户提问进行成对比较,将反馈融入偏好学习算法,动态更新用户专属奖励函数并调整助力扭矩。8名健康受试者表现出明显不同的偏好模式,且在扰动条件下选择仍具一致性。分析显示,用户更倾向与自身运动同步的助力,该模式不破坏关节协同性,且使设备负功降低。该方法简化了个性化过程,为基于奖励的人机交互研究提供基础。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Hip exoskeletons are increasing in popularity due to their effectiveness across various scenarios and their ability to adapt to different users. However, personalizing the assistance often requires lengthy tuning procedures and computationally intensive algorithms, and most existing methods do not incorporate user feedback. In this work, we propose a novel approach for rapidly learning users' preferences for hip exoskeleton assistance. We perform pairwise comparisons of distinct randomly generated assistive profiles, and collect participants preferences through active querying. Users' feedback is integrated into a preference-learning algorithm that updates its belief, learns a user-dependent reward function, and changes the assistive torque profiles accordingly. Results from eight healthy subjects display distinct preferred torque profiles, and users' choices remain consistent when compared to a perturbed profile. A comprehensive evaluation of users' preferences reveals a close relationship with individual walking strategies. The tested torque profiles do not disrupt kinematic joint synergies, and participants favor assistive torques that are synchronized with their movements, resulting in lower negative power from the device. This straightforward approach enables the rapid learning of users preferences and rewards, grounding future studies on reward-based human-exoskeleton interaction.
