A comprehensive review integrates physical and cognitive Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) within exoskeleton technology, establishing a unified framework to analyze design backgrounds and state-of-the-art developments. This work synthesizes knowledge on biomechanics, control strategies, and AI-driven intent detection, providing guidelines for system selection and future research directions.

Key insights

  • Effective exoskeleton design necessitates anthropomorphism, ensuring mechanical alignment with human anatomy, and balancing rigid (strength) versus soft (flexibility, comfort) designs while addressing joint misalignment challenges.
  • Cognitive HRI, especially intuitive and real-time intent detection through neural (EMG, EEG) and kinematic/kinetic signals, is crucial for seamless human-exoskeleton synchronization and adaptable control.
  • Advanced AI algorithms, including deep learning models like CNN and RNN, are instrumental in improving signal processing, data fusion, and classification accuracy for user intention interpretation.
