Volitional Control of Wearable Robotics published in Nature Communications

Should we interface wearable robots for movement assistance with the human nervous system? What benefits would this bring and what foundamental scientific challenges would we need to overcome?

In our new piece in Nature Communications, we discuss opportunities and challenges of connecting wearable robots more closely with the nervous system:
