Abstract
The paper discusses the adaptive control mechanism used in a biomechanically inspired robotic exoskeleton which is designed to provide mobility assistance for paraplegic patients. This indigenous robot is manufactured at a low cost and highly suitable for developing nations such as India. One of the major problem with Robotic exoskeleton is the problem for controlling the weight transfer and balance in the exoskeleton during the full gait cycle. The paper describes an adaptive control algorithm, which will help to solve this key control issue.
