ABSTRACT
Wearable robotics is gradually becoming an emerging research field and a few applications of wearable rehabilitation robots have been proposed in the literature to reinstate activities of daily life (ADL) in people suffering from motor disorders. This paper discusses the classification of wearable robots, technologies involved in wearable robots, human robot physical interaction. There is brief description of technologies involved in the wearable robotics such as kinematic compatibility between human limbs and wearable robots, application of load to humans and control of human-robot interaction. Wearable robot technologies include sensor technologies, actuator technologies and portable energy storage technologies. Few wearable robots instances have been discussed with regard to their mechanism, software, system architecture, and user interface and safety issues.
