Abstract

This paper presents a robust terminal sliding mode control using the EMG signal. The application deals with an exoskeleton-upper limb system, used for rehabilitation. The considered system is a robot with one degree of freedom controlling the flexion/ extension movement of the elbow. The different stages of the EMG signal extraction were presented. Then, a second order terminal sliding mode algorithm has been developed to control the exoskeleton-upper limb system. A Stability study is realized and a robustness analysis is done using Monte Carlo simulation in presence of parametric uncertainties. Simulation results are provided to prove performance and effectiveness of the second order terminal sliding mode algorithm when tracking the EMG signal extracted from the human arm.
