arXiv:2606. 05234v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Wearable exoskeleton systems hold promise for restoring mobility in individuals with physical impairments, yet most existing controllers rely on static gait policies that lack the ability to adapt to dynamic real-world environments or individual user characteristics.

UniExo is a framework that builds a single, multi-skill musculoskeletal human policy by distilling four imitation experts—walking, turning, running, and backward walking—into one network guided by a skill latent. The human policy is fine‑tuned with reinforcement learning on transition sequences, achieving a 94.7% tracking success rate on unseen clips and greater robustness to perturbations. A hip exoskeleton controller is then co‑adapted with this human policy via multi‑agent reinforcement learning, enabling it to assist across four treadmill speeds and a continuous route of all four skills without explicit mode switching.

HB‑PVI is a hierarchical Bayesian framework that jointly models participant heterogeneity, the benefits and harms of four personalization mechanisms, and the economic value of acquiring additional labels for complex activity recognition. In a 47‑participant MUSIC‑CAR cohort, the framework used a sequential‑Monte‑Carlo updater, a Student‑t hierarchical gain model, and a one‑step expected‑value‑of‑sample‑information stopping rule. The results showed that, under realistic cost and benefit thresholds, the policy avoided labeling entirely, matching an always‑stop strategy while maintaining near‑optimal predictive performance and reducing labeling effort by 100%.

arXiv:2608. 00715v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning-based controllers can deliver exoskeleton assistance after training entirely in physics-based simulation, yet few controllers that address human-device co-adaptation have been validated on real users by whole-body metabolic measurement, the standard benchmark for assistive walking.

Pattern-recognition control promises a myoelectric prosthesis that responds to many intended gestures rather than one or two, but the promise has stayed in the laboratory. A recogniser trained on one person rarely transfers to the next, and useful performance usually demands a fresh round of labelled calibration from the end user.
arXiv:2606. 11982v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Preference-based reinforcement learning (PbRL) learns policies from human trajectory-level comparisons, avoiding explicit reward design and expert demonstrations.
