目的 - 本文的目的是回顾外骨骼和机器人假肢的最新发展。设计/方法/途径 - 本文首先描述了一些最近开发的用于军事、民用和医疗应用的外骨骼。然后讨论了机器人假肢，最后简要介绍了脑机接口 (BCI) 技术的进展。研究结果 - 机器人外骨骼是一项重大研究工作的主题，大部分由美国军方资助，旨在为佩戴者提供超人的力量。日本的研究也很先进，涉及一系列非军事应用，包括力量增强和医疗康复。一些产品最近已商业化。机器人假肢的开发也取得了重大进展，这一课题也吸引了美国军方的支持。一个关键目标是开发由脑机接口技术进步带来的思想控制假肢。原创性/价值 - 本文详细回顾了外骨骼和机器人假肢的最新发展。
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to review recent developments in exoskeletons and robotic prosthetics.Design/methodology/approach - This paper first describes a number of recently developed exoskeletons for military, civil and medical applications. it then discusses robotic prosthetics and concludes with a brief consideration of progress in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology.Findings - Robotic exoskeletons are the topic of a major research effort, much being funded by the US military, and aims to impart superhuman strength to the wearer. Japanese research is also well advanced and concerns a range of non-military applications, including strength enhancement and medical rehabilitation. Some products have recently been commercialised. There has also been significant progress in the development of robotic prosthetic limbs, a topic which is also attracting support from the US military. A key aim is the development of thought-controlled prosthetics which will arise from advances in BCI technology.Originality/value - This paper provides a detailed review of the latest developments in exoskeletons and robotic prosthetics.
