With advancements in control and robotics technology, wearable robots have gained multiple applications in rehabilitation and power augmentation. In robots developed for power augmentation purposes, human decisions are combined with robot power to enhance the human ability to perform various activities, such as carrying heavy loads and walking for a long time. In cases where robots are designed to help humans to carry heavy loads, the robot control strategy should minimize the human-robot interaction forces. In this case, heavy loads influence the robot and the user no longer need to use more energy than normal walking, and the robot works following human intentions. Where the robot works to...
