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 bio-inspired models copying natural dynamics of the leg muscles, and containing top-down primitives, short-loop reflexes, and a torso stabilization mechanism.
