Abstract

Nowadays, exoskeletal robot manipulators are used in health, defense and industrial fields. However, development studies of the performance of these systems are being continued. There are many challenges in terms of control of the systems. For the high-performance control of these systems, it is extremely important that the feedback information is accurate, stable and noiseless. Hybrid data fusion approach has been trying to be used in these systems in recent years. In this approach, biological and biomechanical parameters are used together for the feedback. In this study, fundamentals, advantages, and disadvantages of the hybrid data fusion approach are presented. On the other hand, it is proposed the solution methods for existing problems.
