While initially conceived for human motion augmentation, wearable robots have gradually evolved as technological aids in motion assistance and rehabilitation. There are increasing real-world applications in industrial and medical scenarios. Though efforts have been made on wearable robotic systems, e.g. robotic prostheses and exoskeletons, there are still several challenges in kinematics and actuation solutions, dynamic analysis and control of human-robot systems, neuro-control and human-robot interfaces; ergonomics and human-in-the-loop optimization. Meanwhile, real-world applications in industrial or medical scenarios are facing difficulties considering effectiveness.
