    Abstract: A method and device for controlling a walking assist device is disclosed. The method includes determining a first state variable for a gait state of a user wearing the walking assist device based on a gait of the user, obtaining a second state variable which is smoothed and time-delayed from the first state variable, obtaining a third state variable by applying a torque control variable to the second state variable, and determining an assist torque to be provided by the walking assist device based on the obtained third state variable.

    Abstract: Provided is a method and device for walking assistance that may estimate a state vector of a foot of a user and a variance matrix corresponding to the state vector, adjust a probability of a contact sensor based on at least one estimate included in the estimated state vector in response to receiving a contact signal from the contact sensor, calculate a combination rate between a measurement value of an acceleration sensor and the estimated state vector based on a measurement error matrix including the adjusted probability, update the estimated state vector and the estimated variance matrix based on the calculated combination rate, determine whether the foot lands on the ground based on the updated state vector and the updated variance matrix, and change an operation mode of a walking assistance device based on a result of the determination.

    Abstract: A method, performed by a wearable device, of outputting a torque includes obtaining a first angle of a first joint of a first leg of a user and a second angle of a second joint of a second leg of the user, calculating a first adjustment angle, based on an offset angle set for the first angle and the first joint, determining a first state factor associated with the first angle and the second angle, based on the first adjustment angle and the second angle, determining a first value of a parameter for adjusting at least one of a magnitude, a direction, and timing of a torque to be output, determining a first torque value, based on the first state factor and the first value of the parameter, and controlling a motor driver of the wearable device to output the first torque value.
