Gait intention detection
By ExoRank Research Desk · Last reviewed The sensor-and-control process used to infer what movement a wearer is beginning—such as walking, climbing, stopping, or changing pace—so assistance can be applied at the right time.
Why it matters
Good assistance depends on timing as much as raw motor output. Delayed or incorrect inference can make a device feel unnatural, particularly during short steps, transitions, or unusual terrain.
