This paper describes a novel low-level controller for the lower-limb exoskeleton Atalante. The controller implemented on the commercialized product Atalante works under the assumption of full rigidity, performing position control through decentralized joint PIDs. However, this controller is unable to tackle the presence of flexibilities in the system, which cause static errors and undesired oscill...
