Extenders: An Introduction to Human Machine Interaction theTransfer of Power and Information Signal

这是一项基础工程研究计划，旨在解决为残疾人提供外骨骼和人工肌肉系统的问题。例如，一个人可以把他们的手臂放在外骨骼的外壳中，外骨骼的手臂就会按照人的指示进行运动。外骨骼内部的传感器甚至可以确定人体手臂的轻微运动，并根据个人的指示提供必要的动力来影响真实手臂的运动。因此，我们的原则是，如果这个项目成功完成，严重残疾的人应该能够恢复相当程度的活动能力，只要他们至少还有一些活动能力来指导外骨骼。

This is a fundamental engineering research proposal which addresses the issues of providing an exo-skeleton and artificial muscle system for a disabled individual. For example, a person can place their arm into an outer arm shell, and with very little effort the exo-skeleton arm will carry out movements as directed by the person. Sensors inside the exo-skeleton determine even a slight movement of the persons arm and provide power as necessary to effect the movement of the real arm as directed by the individual. Thus, is principle, if this project is successfully completed, severely disabled individuals should be able to regain a significant degree of mobility, so long as they still have at least some mobility to direct the exo-skeleton.
