In the paper, a multi-sensors perceptual system is proposed for a wearable power assist leg(WPAL) which is designed for the elderly or disabled people to enhance strength and endurance during walking. WPAL estimates the wearer's intentions from the interactive movement information of human- WPAL system such as the leg reaction force (LRF), the ground reaction force(GRF) and the joint angle. So, the...
