Beschreibung
The concepts represented in this textbook are explored for the first time in assistive and rehabilitation robotics, which is the combination of physical, cognitive, and social human-robot interaction to empower gait rehabilitation and assist human mobility. The aim is to consolidate the methodologies, modules, and technologies implemented in lower-limb exoskeletons, smart walkers, and social robots when human gait assistance and rehabilitation are the primary targets.
This book presents the combination of emergent technologies in healthcare applications and robotics science, such as soft robotics, force control, novel sensing methods, brain-computer interfaces, serious games, automatic learning, and motion planning. From the clinical perspective, case studies are presented for testing and evaluating how those robots interact with humans, analyzing acceptance, perception, biomechanics factors, and physiological mechanisms of recovery during the robotic assistance or therapy.
Interfacing Humans and Robots for Gait Assistance and Rehabilitation will enable undergraduate and graduate students of biomedical engineering, rehabilitation engineering, robotics, and health sciences to understand the clinical needs, technology, and science of human-robot interaction behind robotic devices for rehabilitation, and the evidence and implications related to the implementation of those devices in actual therapy and daily life applications.
- Provides concepts and examples for different types of robots for assistance and rehabilitation;
- Addresses clinical needs, experiences, and perspectives of the use of rehabilitation technology;
- Looks at science and technology of human-robot interaction for healthcare applications.
This textbook presents concepts of physical, cognitive, and social human-robot interaction to empower the process of gait rehabilitation and to assist human mobility. Its focus is on bioinspired design, development, and testing of novel modular robotic components, such as wearable robots (exoskeletons), mobile robots (smart walkers) and social robots. The aim is to provide more natural, efficient, and safe interaction through the implementation of technologies such as soft robotics, impedance control, automatic learning, motion planning, and cloud computing. Case studies show how robots interact with humans and perform collaborative tasks in rehabilitation scenarios. Trends and opportunities for future advances of human-robot interaction in healthcare scenarios are also discussed.
