Learning Hip Exoskeleton Control Policy via Predictive Neuromusculoskeletal Simulation

Description

Developing exoskeleton controllers that generalize across diverse locomotor conditions typically requires extensive motion-capture data and biomechanical labeling, limiting scalability beyond instrumented laboratory settings. Here, we present a physics-based neuromusculoskeletal learning framework that trains a hip-exoskeleton control policy entirely in simulation, without motion-capture demonstrations, and deploys it on hardware via policy distillation.
