Speech Title: Research on Key Technologies of Human-Robot-Environment Coexisting Exoskeleton Systems

Abstract: Exoskeleton robots hold promising application prospects in elderly assistance, rehabilitation for the disabled, and load-bearing assistance. Their core performance hinges on the intelligent fusion and synergy of the human, the robot, and the environment. This presentation systematically reviews cutting-edge research and domestic & international development statuses of lower-limb exoskeletons across multiple subfields, and summarizes common challenges confronting the development and application of coexisting human-robot-environment exoskeleton robots. Centering on eight types of exoskeleton systems developed by the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT), we elaborate on key technologies including precise perception of human motion intention and behavior, rigid-soft hybrid exoskeleton design and coupling modeling, as well as real-time multimodal environmental perception and cooperative control. We further demonstrate the widespread adoption of exoskeleton robots in various fields. Finally, we discuss the technological development trend toward deeper integration among humans, exoskeletons, and environments.

Prof. Nan Ma

Beijing University of Technology, China

She is an expert in artificial intelligence and has been selected for the National Major Talent Program of the Ministry of Education. She serves as the Dean of the School of Artificial Intelligence, PhD Supervisor, the Director of Beijing Key Laboratory of Embodied Interaction Intelligence, the Deputy Director of Engineering Research Center of Intelligence Perception and Autonomous Control, Ministry of Education, the leader of National Key R&D Program, and the team leader of National First-class Undergraduate Courses "Intelligent Interaction Technology". She is a Fellow and the Deputy Secretary General of Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence and the Secretary-General of its Education Working Committee. She is a CCF/GSIG Distinguished Membership, the head of the Beijing Intelligent Manufacturing and Robotics Innovation Project, leading talent of the "Phoenix Plan" in Chaoyang District of Beijing. She has long focused on cutting-edge fields such as autonomous driving, embodied intelligence, interactive cognition, and intelligent robots. Guided by the research principle of “data completeness, scene understanding, and behavior interactivity” for mobile intelligent agents, she proposed a series of key technologies enabling “self-evolution, continual learning, and human–machine–environment value alignment,” and designed an embodied interactive intelligence architecture for autonomous driving in open environments. She also serves as an editorial board member for domestic and international academic journals and as a reviewer for international conferences and journals, such as CVPR, ACM MM, etc. She has visited and studied in some countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia as a visiting scholar. In recent years, she has been invited to serve as an expert in evaluating many national, provincial and ministerial projects.
