Abstract

In this paper, we have developed a method for determining the control intention in human subjects during a prescribed motion task. Our method is based on the solution to the inverse LQR problem, which can be stated as: does a given controller K describe the solution to a time-invariant LQR problem, and if so, what weights Q and R produce K as the optimal solution? We describe an efficient Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) method for determining a solution to the general case of this inverse LQR problem when both the weighting matrices Q and R are unknown. Additionally, we propose a gradient-based, leastsquares minimization method that can be applied to approximate a solution in cases when the LMIs are infeasible. We develop a model for an upright seated-balance task which will be suitable for identification of human control intent once experimental data is available.
