Lower limb exoskeleton robot and its cooperative control: A review, trends, and challenges for future research

Effective control of an exoskeleton robot (ER) using a human-robot interface is crucial for assessing the robot's movements and the force they produce to generate efficient control signals. Interestingly, certain surveys were done to show off cutting-edge exoskeleton robots. The review papers that were previously published have not thoroughly examined the control strategy, which is a crucial component of automating exoskeleton systems. As a result, this review focuses on examining the most recent developments and problems associated with exoskeleton control systems, particularly during the last few years (2017-2022). In addition, the trends and challenges of cooperative control, particularly multi-information fusion, are discussed.
