Orientação espacial em exoesqueletos de membros inferiores utilizando filtros Markovianos espaciais

Abstract

Studies of methodologies to obtain data on movements of the human body that involve

losses of functional motor capacities due to neurological diseases, have aroused the inte- rest of several researchers to assist in the analysis of human movements. Among several

methodologies, those involving the use of inerable sensors have become viable due to the low cost in relation to the systems optical reference. As a result of the use of inerable sensors, it is necessary to establish strategies that outsmart the sensitivity to inherent disturbances and errors these devices.In previous studies of this research group, angular estimates were made in the sagittal plane. In this work, the complementary fusion of the

inerable sensors established by a Markovian system will be used to find the most suita- ble sensor every instant in conjunction with a Kalman filter to compensate for gyroscope

deviation errors , but in three-dimensional space for absolute angles.In this context, a spa- tial orientation estimation system was developed in exoskeletons that minimized errors

compared to a system optical reference. The results obtained in the work allowed com- pliance with the proposed requirements of the Markovian system to be validated based

on a system optical reference.
