Most controllers for lower-limb robotic prostheses require individually tuned parameter sets for every combination of speed and incline that the device is designed for. Because ambulation occurs over a continuum of speeds and inclines, this design paradigm requires tuning of a potentially prohibitively large number of parameters. This limitation motivates an alternative control framework that enab...
