AbstractIn this thesis, the whole-body cooperate balancer is designed to control the balance of AIT's leg exoskeleton which it has 12 DOF. This balancer can achieve it purpose by extension the range of inverse kinematics by integrating the mass distribution information to whole-body and use it control the position of total COG. The combined end-effector manipulator improves corrected posture close to the original posture which before the exoskeleton agent the unknown external perturbation. Also P-controller can improve the time efficiency of disturbance rejection. The author use MATLAB software to implement and simulate this balancer. It can provide physical environments and many tools before implementation of real exoskeleton.
