Purpose: The purpose of the study is to develop an augmented algorithm with optimised energy and improvised synchronisation to assist the knee exoskeleton design. This enhanced algorithm is used to estimate the accurate left and right movement signals from the brain and accordingly moves the lower-limb exoskeleton with the help of motors. Design/methodology/approach: An optimised deep learning algorithm is developed to differentiate the right and left leg movements from the acquired brain signals. The obtained test signals are then compared with the signals obtained from the conventional algorithm to find the accuracy of the algorithm. Findings: The obtained average accuracy rate of about 63% illustrates the improvised differentiation in identifying the right and left leg movement. Research limitations/implications: The future work involves the comparative study of the proposed algorithm with other classification technologies to extract more reliable results. A comparative analysis of the replaceable and rechargeable battery will be done in the future study to exhibit the effectiveness of the proposed model. Originality/value: This study involves the extended study of five frequency regions namely alpha, beta, gamma, delta and theta, to handle the real-time EEG signal processing exoskeleton, model.
