Brain-computer interface technology for rehabilitation exoskeleton applications

Abstract

In recent years, the development of brain-computer interface (BCI) and exoskeleton technology has received more and more attention. Brain-computer interface, a technology that allows the human brain to communicate with electronic devices or computer programs, has potential applications in sports rehabilitation for the disabled and smart home control. Exoskeleton technology, on the other hand, provides humans with enhanced movement and strength, offering new possibilities for improving the quality of life for people with mobility disorders. Several applications of brain-computer interface and exoskeleton technology are discussed. Applications of brain-computer interfaces range from motor rehabilitation, allowing patients to regain control of paralyzed limbs, to controlling virtual environments and assistive devices. Exoskeletons, on the other hand, enable people with reduced mobility to walk again, providing them with more independence and function. This paper introduces the latest research progress of BCI and exoskeleton technology, including the latest breakthroughs in machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms, which greatly improve the accuracy and speed of BCI control. Challenges such as developing lightweight and user-friendly exoskeletons and addressing safety and ethical issues in BCI applications are also discussed. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date reference for researchers and science enthusiasts interested in brain-computer interface and exoskeleton technology.
