Abstract :
Many kinds of robot, such as humanoid, entertainment, and medical robots have been developed all over the world. Especially, an assistive and rehabilitation robots for the elder and disable people have been expected as one of the most important application of the neural engineering. In this plenary talk, Prof. Fujie introduces state of the art and current state on the assistive and rehabilitation robots with taking the Japanese national project ldquoBasic Technology Development for Practical Application of Human Support Robotsrdquo for an example and suggest the future plan to make the industry of the assistive and rehabilitation robots.
