下肢外骨骼在坐起-站立(STS)转换过程中精确控制仍是康复机器人领域的核心挑战,源于人-外骨骼系统高度非线性、时变的动力学特性以及临床安全对轨迹跟踪的严苛要求。本文系统设计、仿真并对比评估了三种控制策略:经典比例-积分-微分(PID)控制器、线性二次型调节器(LQR),以及应用于双侧下肢外骨骼的新型混合PID-LQR控制器。通过将SolidWorks CAD装配体直接导入MATLAB/Simulink Simscape Multibody环境,构建高保真物理动力学模型,准确保留各构件几何与惯性属性。利用OpenSim肌肉骨骼仿真生成符合生理特征的髋、膝、踝关节参考轨迹,并分解为三个生物力学阶段:屈曲-动量(0-33%)、动量传递(34-66%)和伸展(67-100%)。所提出的混合PID-LQR控制器通过调优融合系数alpha = 0.65,结合LQR的最优瞬态响应与PID的积分抗扰能力。仿真结果表明,该控制器在髋关节和膝关节上分别较PID实现72.3%和70.4%的均方根误差(RMSE)降低,所有关节的调节时间减少超过90%,超调量控制在2.39%-6.10%之间,全面优于两种基线策略,展现出显著的临床辅助外骨骼部署潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Precise control of lower limb exoskeletons during sit-to-stand (STS) transitions remains a central challenge in rehabilitation robotics owing to the highly nonlinear, time-varying dynamics of the human-exoskeleton system and the stringent trajectory tracking requirements imposed by clinical safety. This paper presents the systematic design, simulation, and comparative evaluation of three control strategies: a classical Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller, a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR), and a novel Hybrid PID-LQR controller applied to a bilateral lower limb exoskeleton performing the sit-to-stand transition. A high-fidelity, physics-based dynamic model of the exoskeleton is constructed by importing a SolidWorks CAD assembly directly into the MATLAB/Simulink Simscape Multibody environment, preserving accurate geometric and inertial properties of all links. Physiologically representative reference joint trajectories for the hip, knee, and ankle joints are generated using OpenSim musculoskeletal simulation and decomposed into three biomechanical phases: flexion-momentum (0-33%), momentum-transfer (34-66%), and extension (67-100%). The proposed Hybrid PID-LQR controller combines the optimal transient response of LQR with the integral disturbance rejection of PID through a tuned blending coefficient alpha = 0.65. Simulation results demonstrate that the Hybrid PID-LQR achieves RMSE reductions of 72.3% and 70.4% over PID at the hip and knee joints, respectively, reduces settling time by over 90% relative to PID across all joints, and limits overshoot to 2.39%-6.10%, confirming its superiority over both baseline strategies across all evaluated performance metrics and demonstrating strong translational potential for clinical assistive exoskeleton deployment.
