EAGER: NSF-JUST Program on Robotic for Rehabilitaion and Medicine

本项目回顾了美国和日本在医疗和康复领域的基于模型的辅助机器人技术领域的最新技术水平，概述了该领域的基础科学和技术，并提出了通过建立相互优势，日本和美国之间未来合作研究的模式。特别是研究了使用外骨骼的中风患者步态训练。医疗和康复机器人领域提供了广泛的社会影响。 此外，该项目使研究生和教师接触到日本乃至亚洲的研究文化。今天，日本在机器人和自动化的许多领域处于领先地位。NSF-JST项目的学生与日本的研究人员互动，并参观著名的大学和研究实验室。这种接触为学生提供了良好的培训，并为他们在全球工业和学术界的职业生涯做好准备。

This joint program reviews the state-of-the-art of the field of model-based assistive robotic technologies for medicine and rehabilitation in the USA and Japan, outlines the fundamental science and technologies in this area, and proposes models for future collaborative research between Japan and USA by building on the mutual strengths. In particular, gait training for stroke patients using exoskeletons is studied.The field of medical and rehabilitation robotics offers much in terms of broad societal impact. In addition, the project exposes graduate students and faculty to the culture of research in Japan, and more broadly, Asia. Today, Japan leads in many areas of robotics and automation. The students in the NSF-JST program interact with researchers in Japan and visit prominent universities and research laboratories. This exposure provides excellent training for the students and prepares them for careers in industry and academia globally.
