Special Session Information: 

This special session focuses on the latest research advances and applications in flexible wearable exoskeleton technologies. As a frontier in human-robot interaction and intelligent rehabilitation, exoskeleton technology demonstrates tremendous potential in medical rehabilitation, elderly assistance, and industrial support scenarios. This session particularly emphasizes key technologies including variable stiffness actuation, soft material and structural design, biomechanical optimization, and intelligent control algorithms, as well as innovative achievements in practical applications such as tremor suppression, fall protection, and motion enhancement. We welcome submissions from researchers with multidisciplinary backgrounds in robotics, biomedical engineering, materials science, and control engineering to jointly advance the development and clinical translation of wearable exoskeleton technologies.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Variable Stiffness Actuation Mechanism Design and Optimization

• Soft Exoskeleton Materials and Structural Innovation

• Wrist, Hand, and Lower Limb Exoskeleton Systems

• Tremor Suppression and Motion Assistance Technologies

• Exoskeleton Biomechanical Modeling and Simulation

• Intelligent Control and Human-Robot Collaboration Strategies

• Fall Protection and Balance Enhancement Systems

• Rehabilitation Training and Assessment Technologies
