Title:
"BCI Based Interaction Methods for Rehabilitation Robots"

Abstract:
We are facing the increasingly serious problem of population aging and the challenges of assessment, diagnosis, intervention and rehabilitation caused by the high incidence of stroke and Alzheimer's disease, as well as the shortage of therapists. Rehabilitation robots are expected to provide technical solutions to these problems and provide rehabilitation services for patients, families and therapists, but the promotion and application of rehabilitation robots also face many challenges. For example, efficient, reliable and safe intelligent interaction and intelligent control are difficulties hindering development and applications. Considering the acquisition and processing of multimodal biological signals, brain-computer interface, intervention control and rehabilitation, this talk explores the opportunities in related fields, as well as thoughts and prospects on the intelligent development of rehabilitation robots in the future.
