The variations of the hip and knee joint torques in the experiments are shown in Figure 14. With the iterative
update of CEEC, the peak joint torques of both hip and knee joints in all scenarios are reduced significantly
after several steps of walking with increasing supporting force, which means the CEEC is an online real-time
optimization approach for the HEW system. Note that for different subjects and initial settings of the support-
ing force, the joint torques can be online optimized, and for subjects with varying masses, the required joint
