Abstract
The main objective of this work is obtaining a framework able to provide bio-inspired torque assistance to disabled humans during walking and stair ascending/descending. The method is based on a bioinspired model copying natural dynamics of the leg muscles, and containing top-down primitives, shortloop reflexes, and a torso stabilization mechanism.
