“…At the same time, through the indepth combination of machine learning [109] and other technologies, the customisation and parameterisation of data diagnosis and treatment are realised, and the integration of autonomous learning and people is better realised [77]. The combination of virtual reality and augmented reality technology [110] enables a real scene to stimulate the brain and significantly stimulate motor function [111]. Using visual interaction and virtual reality technology is necessary [112].…”

As a wearable and intelligent system, a lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot can provide auxiliary rehabilitation training for patients with lower limb walking impairment/loss and address the existing problem of insufficient medical resources. One of the main elements of such a human—robot coupling system is a control system to ensure human—robot coordination. This review aims to summarise the development of human—robot coordination control and the associated research achievements and provide insight into the research challenges in promoting innovative design in such control systems. The patients’ functional disorders and clinical rehabilitation needs regarding lower limbs are analysed in detail, forming the basis for the human—robot coordination of lower limb rehabilitation robots. Then, human—robot coordination is discussed in terms of three aspects: modelling, perception and control. Based on the reviewed research, the demand for robotic rehabilitation, modelling for human—robot coupling systems with new structures and assessment methods with different etiologies based on multi-mode sensors are discussed in detail, suggesting development directions of human—robot coordination and providing a reference for relevant research.

“…Interestingly, only a few devices for providing kinesthetic feedback for walking in VR have been developed. They are mainly wearable robotic exoskeletons [26], [27] which provide force feedback to the user's lower limbs during walking in VR; however, this feedback is not related to the VR environment but is primarily used for locomotion training. An end-effector type force feedback device that can provide terrain-related feedback was presented in [28]; however, its main disadvantage is the large workspace requirement.…”

This paper presents an impedance type ankle haptic interface for providing users with an immersive navigation experience in virtual reality (VR). The ankle platform, actuated by an electric motor with feedback control, enables the use of foot-tapping gestures to create a walking experience like a real one and to haptically render different types of walking terrains. Experimental studies demonstrated that the interface can be easily used to generate virtual walking and is capable of rendering terrains, such as hard and soft surfaces, and multi-layer complex dynamic terrains. The designed system is a seated-type VR locomotion interface, therefore allowing its user to maintain a stable seated posture to comfortably navigate a virtual scene.

“…Secondly, F-HMIs [7] provide real-time information through auditory, visual or haptic signals, and allow the operator to monitor task-relevant factors during the [20] Virtual Reality-Based Game-Like Interface [21] Augmented Reality-Based Interface [22] Haptic Interface [23] rehabilitation training sessions, such as patient health status, system status and performance indicators. This type of HMIs is particularly useful for keeping track of improvements along the whole rehabilitation process.…”

Exoskeletons are wearable robots designed to restore or augment human physical abilities and, indirectly, cognitive functions. These devices can be classified based on the sector of application, the body part they are intended to support or enhance, the degree of assistance, and the source which they gather power from. Regardless of such technical features, exoskeletons are usually equipped with Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs), allowing users to interact with the system, both physically and cognitively. The current paper critically reviews the state of the art of HMIs, and discusses the future challenges concerning Human Factors issues associated with the experience of utilisation of HMIs for wearable assistive exoskeletons in neuromotor rehabilitation settings. An overview of extant types of rehabilitative exoskeletons' HMIs is provided, as well as a discussion on novel user experience research questions posed in light of the recent developments in the field.
