Abstract

In this paper, an agonistic-antagonistic muscle system is presented. This dual muscle system is based on the Hill muscle model. The problem of estimating the state variables and activation signals of the dual muscle system is addressed. A proposed estimation scheme which combines a super-twisting observer and an input estimator is given to provide a solution to the problem. A backstepping control method is used to track a reference trajectory. Numerical results are conducted to show that the relative error for state estimation is about 1% and that for the unknown inputs is about 3% when the measurements of the length of a muscle and its nonlinear spring force are affected by noise profiles whose normalized amplitude is 0.005.
