Abstrakt: In this article, a lower limb exoskeleton (LLE) under contacting constrained motion has been modelled using augmented Lagrange equations which include Lagrange multiplier and Jacobian vectors. A sliding mode Controller optimized by the grey Wolf optimization algorithm has been used for controlling (LLE) in the case of constrained motion with uncertainties and outside perturbation. The grey wolf optimization algorithm has been used as an optimization algorithm for finding the optimal controllers' parameters in order to improve the performance of the system. The stability analysis of the closed-loop system has been performed using Lyapunov theory of stability. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller structure grey wolf optimization algorithm controller (GW-SMC), a series of comparative simulations have been carried out with other types of recently existing sliding mode control (SMC). The results of numerical simulations indicate the superiority of the sliding mode optimized by the GW-SMC over other types of recently existing controller in terms of tracking errors and robustness towards uncertainties and external disturbances.
