Robot. AI"],"abstract":"<jats:p><jats:bold>Introduction:<\/jats:bold> Recent studies found that wearable exoskeletons can reduce physical effort and fatigue during squatting. In particular, subject-specific assistance helped to significantly reduce physical effort, shown by reduced metabolic cost, using human-in-the-loop optimization of the exoskeleton parameters. However, measuring metabolic cost using respiratory data has limitations, such as long estimation times, presence of noise, and user discomfort. A recent study suggests that foot contact forces can address those challenges and be used as an alternative metric to the metabolic cost to personalize wearable robot assistance during walking.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> In this study, we propose that foot center of pressure (CoP) features can be used to estimate the metabolic cost of squatting using a machine learning method. Five subjects\u2019 foot pressure and metabolic cost data were collected as they performed squats with an ankle exoskeleton at different assistance conditions in our prior study. In this study, we extracted statistical features from the CoP squat trajectories and fed them as input to a random forest model, with the metabolic cost as the output.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> The model predicted the metabolic cost with a mean error of 0.55\u00a0W\/kg on unseen test data, with a high correlation (r = 0.89, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.01) between the true and predicted cost. The features of the CoP trajectory in the medial-lateral direction of the foot (xCoP), which relate to ankle eversion-inversion, were found to be important and highly correlated with metabolic cost.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Our findings indicate that increased ankle eversion (outward roll of the ankle), which reflects a suboptimal squatting strategy, results in higher metabolic cost. Higher ankle eversion has been linked with the etiology of chronic lower limb injuries. Hence, a CoP-based cost function in human-in-the-loop optimization could offer several advantages, such as reduced estimation time, injury risk mitigation, and better user comfort.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/frobt.2023.1166248","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,19]],"date-time":"2023-04-19T04:58:32Z","timestamp":1681880312000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Predicting the metabolic cost of exoskeleton-assisted squatting using foot pressure features and machine learning"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Sruthi","family":"Ramadurai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Heejin","family":"Jeong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Myunghee","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"957","DOI":"10.33549\/physiolres.931238","article-title":"Age-related changes of human balance during quiet stance","volume":"57","author":"Abrahamova","year":"2008","journal-title":"Physiol.
