This paper presents a method to compute smooth ankle trajectories for lower limb exoskeletons with powered ankle joints. The proposed approach defines ankle trajectories using four polynomial functions, each representing one of the four primary phases of gait. These polynomials are computed according to different safety constraints. During the single support phase, ground contact constraints are e...
