OLIVE: Online Low-Rank Incremental Learning for Efficient Adaptive Exoskeletons

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2606.05234v2 Announce Type: replace-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 cannot adapt to dynamic real-world environments or individual user characteristics. We present OLIVE (Online Low-rank Incremental Learning for Efficient Adaptive Exoskeletons), a parameter-efficient online adaptation framework that continuously personalizes exoskeleton control during deployment. OLIVE decomposes the adaptive component of the control policy into a low-rank residual form $\Delta W = A_t B_t^\top$ with rank $r \ll \min(d,k)$, reducing the online update cost from $\mathcal{O}(dk)$ to $\mathcal{O}(r(d+k))$ while preserving the stability of a pretrained
