Preface

Robotic technologies provide new solutions for rehabilitation and support for disabled and elderly people. For all kinds of robot-assisted rehabilitation therapies, the human–robot interface is important for robots to work in harmony with the structure and movement of the human body. In the past decades, biomechanists have developed complex human limb models that combine neural signals with kinematic and kinetic data to study human control strategies. The ability to accurately predict the movement intention and quickly determine the corresponding training strategy is important to improve the effectiveness of robot-assisted medical treatment. Biomechatronics is an applied interdisciplinary science that effectively integrates mechanical elements, electronics, and parts of biological organisms. Biomechatronics is a rapidly growing field as it pro
