Abstract | ||||
One of the most difficult issues in the design of power ankle-foot prosthetics is to create a control system that can simulate biological ankle-foot behavior in various operating conditions. The powered semi-active ankle-foot prosthetic is a complex nonlinear system with high coupling. This work presents the dynamic model of powered ankle prosthetics. For powered ankle prostheses, a fuzzy logic- proportional-integral (FL-PI) controller is presented. In the initial stage of control, two proportional-integral (PI) controllers are designed to regulate motor speed and current, respectively. In the next stage of control, two FL-PI controllers are designed. The Fuzzy logic controller is designed to tune online the gains of the PI controller. During a normal walking gait cycle, FL-PI controllers are used to regulate the specified model under these external disturbances. The performance of PI controllers and FL-PI controllers are compared during the walking gait cycle. The results reveal that a powered semi-active ankle-foot prosthetic with a fuzzy logic-PI controller method outperforms a PI controller alone. | ||||
