Speech Title:

Wearable robots for motor and sensory function reconstruction and enhancement

Abstract:

Aiming at the urgent needs of reconstruction, recovery and enhancement of human motion and sensory function, the talk describes the principle of wearable robots cross-modal neuromuscular interface to enhance human motion and sensory function, especially in the design and preparation of flexible stretchable sensors, multimodal neurophysiological information perception and fusion, human-in-the-loop personalized human-machine collaborative control, neuromuscular information acquisition, analysis and control chip design. A number of original theoretical and research results has been achieved, with some of the achievements being applied in the field of medical rehabilitation.
