Exoskeleton control is the set of control strategies that coordinate a wearable robotic exoskeleton’s actuators with the intent and movement of its human wearer. It fuses proprioceptive and biomechanical sensing with kinematic and dynamic models to provide assistive torque while preserving stability and safety. Effective control must adapt to gait phase, user effort, and varying loads in real time to augment strength or restore mobility.

- Controllers infer wearer intent from biomechanical signals and apply assistive torque synchronised to gait phase and load. Real-time adaptation and tight safety margins are essential since the machine is physically coupled to a human body.
