Wearable robotics has rapidly emerged as a key field at the intersection of robotics, medicine, and human augmentation.In recent years, advances in actuation, sensing, control, and human–machine interfaces have enabled the development of exoskeletons, prostheses, orthoses, and other body-worn robotic systems that are increasingly present in healthcare, industry,and daily life. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and engineers working on wearable robotic technologies to foster exchanges across disciplines and application domains. The workshop will highlight recent progress in medical applications, human–robot collaboration, transparency and comfort, long-term user habituation, and intention perception,while addressing current challenges related to ergonomics, usability, and real-world deployment.
SCOPE
Topics of interest include but not limited to
Wearable robotic systems for assistance, rehabilitation, and human augmentation
Human–robot physical interaction and close-coupled collaboration
Intention detection and prediction (EMG, EEG, multimodal sensing, learning-based methods)
Shared, adaptive, and user-in-the-loop control strategies
Transparency, comfort, ergonomics, and embodiment in wearable devices
Perception, proprioceptive feedback, and wearable haptic interfaces
Power, autonomy, and embedded sensing for wearable robotic systems
