Wearable Assistive

Wearable assistive robots aim to enhance human capabilities, particularly for individuals with mobility impairments or the elderly, by providing physical support for tasks like locomotion and hand manipulation. Current research emphasizes improving control systems through advanced neuromusculoskeletal modeling to create more intuitive and seamless interactions between the human and the robot, often incorporating EMG sensing. Efforts also focus on minimizing the weight and energy consumption of these devices through innovative actuator designs, such as exploring multimodal hydrostatic actuators and virtual reality interfaces to reduce the physical burden on the user. These advancements hold significant promise for improving rehabilitation outcomes, augmenting human performance, and expanding the accessibility of assistive technologies.
