SMAT: Staged Multi-Agent Training for Co-Adaptive Exoskeleton Control
SMAT: Staged Multi-Agent Training for Co-Adaptive Exoskeleton Control
This paper introduces SMAT, a staged multi-agent training framework designed to solve the non-stationary learning problem inherent in human-device co-adaptation.
The study presents a four-stage training curriculum for co-adaptive control of hip exoskeletons, validated in simulation and on five human subjects via treadmill experiments.

The resulting policy delivers consistent assistance and predominantly positive mechanical power without the need for any explicitly imposed timing shift (mean positive power: 13.6 W at 6 Nm RMS torque to 23.8 W at 9.3 Nm RMS torque, with minimal negative power) consistentl

s co-adapt with full torque capacity and bidirectional feedback. We implement SMAT in the MyoAssist simulation environment using a 26-muscle lower-limb model and an attached hip exoskeleton. Our musculoskeletal simulations demonstrate that the learned exoskeleton control policy produces an average 10.1% reduction in simulated hip muscle activation relative to the no-assist condition. We validated the learned controll
