Assistive robots are categorized as robots that share their area of work and interact with humans. Their main goals are to help, assist, and monitor humans, especially people with disabilities. To achieve these goals, it is necessary that these robots possess a series of characteristics, namely the abilities to perceive their environment from their sensors and act consequently, to interact with people in a multimodal manner, and to navigate and make decisions autonomously. This complexity demands computationally expensive algorithms to be performed in real time. The advent of high-end embedded processors has enabled several such algorithms to be processed concurrently and in real time. All these capabilities involve, to a greater or less extent, the use of machine learning techniques. In particular, in the last few years, new deep learning techniques have enabled a very important qualitative leap in different problems related to perception, navigation, and human understanding. In this Special Issue, several works are presented involving the use of machine learning techniques for assistive technologies, in particular for assistive robots.

Robots have become an integral part of modern industrial manufacturing. In healthcare, the impact of robotic devices has not yet been established but there has been considerable discussion on their use as assistive devices and as products or systems that aid in rehabilitation of disabled people. I will technically investigate the current state-of-art wearable robotic devices in relation to physical rehabilitation and use of robots as assistive technology. Assistive technology is defined as use of a device to replace or to substitute function of missing limb of the user, and rehabilitation technology is the robotic device that should improve the individual's recovery of function. Wearable robots are generally electro-mechanical devices that are fitted to the user to facilitate rehabilitation or to allow the user to retrieve a lost or diminished capacity for purposeful movement. Wearable robots can be used either as an orthotic device; in case of dysfunction of limbs or as a prosthetic device that compensates for missing limbs following amputation. The challenges for the breakthrough of robotics into modern healthcare will be related to providing superior user interaction, ease of use and training and above all better functional outcome over that achievable by conventional rehabilitation methods or non-robotic assistive technologies. The project will review current commercial and disclosed research devices associated with upper limb and lower limb function. The field will be divided into functional categories related to reaching and grasping and standing and walking in exoskeleton and prosthetic devices. A key aspect of the review will focus on the mechanics and control approaches used to allow the user to train within a robotic system or control it to perform a task. The report will also critically look at solutions offered in relation to wearability, comfort and safety of use and the intended patient groups. Examples of the type of devices that will be included in the report are recent exoskeletons such as ReWalk from Argo Medical Technology, wearable walking robots such as KineAssist, MoonWalker as well as the more established body weight support treadmill training devices such as the Lokomat by Hocoma.

Everyone uses machines in our daily life -- cars, buses and bikes; computers and phones; washing machines and dryers. Another type of machine is an "assistive technology". These enable a man missing a leg to walk, a woman missing an arm to hold objects, and a child in a wheelchair to play a sport. New Hands, New Life offers young readers the opportunity to learn how our bodies work during physical activity and what happens when they don't work properly. It shows how exciting advances in technology and science have allowed us to create assistive technologies -- from artificial limbs and wheelchairs to exoskeletons and robots -- that make it possible for someone with a disability to make new abilities. Assistive technologies are especially life-changing for a child who can overcome the challenges of a missing limb or reduced motor function to enjoy a life of learning and play that would be otherwise out of reach. Topics include: The emergence of robotics Anatomy and physiology related to movement and activity, including motor control Why some children need help to move or do things Different types of challenges (e.g., walking, interacting with environment) Diseases, trauma and disabilities that affect movement Working together with robots Making robots (robotics clubs, LEGO toys, other kits) 3-D printing of prostheses for growing children. The book features case studies that follow the design and fitting of assistive technologies. There are pictures of the labs, robots, and researchers working to develop new machines, along with a brief history of prosthetics and a survey of medical-engineering work currently underway in many countries. New Hands, New Life provides fascinating, illustrated coverage of a topic rarely covered for a young audience. It is an essential selection for all libraries, and for many families.
