Wearable Assistive Robots, designed to be worn on the human body, show tremendous potentials to provide what the wearer lacks in performing physically challenging tasks, such as seen in manufacturing, agricultural and healthcare industries. However, fundamental challenges still prevent the realisation of such benefits in the practical settings outside the laboratory. This project addresses these challenges by establishing (1) a systematic design approach for wearable robots to achieve the intended task while optimising other relevant considerations, such as human factors and the practical bulk of the robot; and (2) a novel control and interaction strategy to accommodate the variations in realistic living and working environments.

可穿戴式辅助机器人被设计为穿戴在人体上，显示出巨大的潜力，可以提供穿戴者在执行具有身体挑战性的任务时所缺乏的东西，例如在制造业，农业和医疗保健行业中看到的。然而，根本性的挑战仍然阻止在实验室以外的实际环境中实现这些益处。该项目通过建立（1）可穿戴机器人的系统设计方法来解决这些挑战，以实现预期的任务，同时优化其他相关考虑因素，例如人为因素和机器人的实际体积;以及（2）一种新颖的控制和交互策略，以适应现实生活和工作环境的变化。
