Current perspective of brain-computer interfaces in arm exoskeletons

Abstract

With the development of world scientific level, brain-computer interfaces (BCI) have become possible from the Arabian Nights. It has been achieved that humans do not need to act, but only use their thoughts to manipulate machines. Currently, many people are attempting to combine brain-computer interfaces with arm exoskeletons to assist humans who have lost mobility. This paper will interpret the literature on brain computer interface technology retrieved in the past five years, and summarize the current development and application of this technology in the world. Research has found that the literature on this technology has been increasing every year in recent years. The United States is in a leading position in this field, with research results and publications leading the world. At present, the development level of this technology is very considerable, and some people have already experienced the convenience brought by this technology. However, overall, the technology combining brain-computer interfaces with arm exoskeletons is not yet perfect. There are still many aspects that can be refined. This paper aims to provide a reference for further research and application in this field, and to provide useful references and ideas for workers and researchers in related fields.
