Tracking human upper-limb movements with sliding mode control type-II fuzzy logic

A knowledge of human upper-limb structure and its mechanical functions are important for developing an exoskeleton. The Sliding Mode Control with Fuzzy Type-II is proposed to control the movements of the human extremity joints. The Lagrange method is used to model the dynamics system of human upper-limb. The findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller in tracking the desired motion and it is also able to eliminate the chattering problem as well as deal with uncertainties.
