Wearable Robotics provides a comprehensive overview of the entire field of wearable robotics including active orthotics (exoskeleton) and active prosthetics for the upper and lower limb as well as full body. In its two major sections including Systems and Applications, wearable robotics systems are described from both the engineering perspectives as well as the systems' application in medicine and industry. Systems and applications at various levels of the development cycle are presented including systems which are still under active research and development, systems that are under preliminary or full clinical trials as well as commercialized products. Dr. Rosen has developed several key systems in the field of medical robotics such as the Blue and the Red Dragon for minimally invasive surgical skill evaluation that is commercialized by Simulab as the Edge, Raven - a surgical robotic system for telesurgery that is commercialized by Applied Dexterity as an open source research platform, several generations of upper and lower limb exoskeletons and most recently the Exo-UL7 - a dual arm wearable robotic system. He has brought this real world experience to leading and editing this book, and included contributions from worldwide experts. Wearable Robotics is a great resource for anyone working in this field; researchers, industry professionals or for use in teaching. An entry point to the world of wearable robotics, the content in the book ranges from fundamentals, through to systems and then to applicationProvides a comprehensive overview of the entire field, with both engineering and medical perspectivesThis book will help you to design and develop wearable robotics for healthcare quickly and efficiently INDICE: 1.
