Bodiesrobots
Bodiesrobots is a term used to describe the integration and interaction of robotic systems with the human body, encompassing devices that extend, augment, or substitute bodily function through close coupling between biology and machine. The concept includes wearable robotics such as powered exoskeletons and assistive devices, as well as implanted interfaces, soft robotics, and prosthetic technologies that communicate with the nervous or musculoskeletal systems. The term is not universally standardized and appears mainly in robotics and bioengineering literature as a shorthand for body–machine interfaces, biohybrid devices, and neuroprosthetic platforms.
Core technologies involve sensing biological signals (for example, electromyography, neural, or other physiological measurements), actuating movement
Applications span medical, assistive, and research domains. In rehabilitation and mobility support, bodiesrobots enable higher precision
Challenges include ensuring safe and reliable human–machine interaction, protecting privacy and autonomy, managing costs, and navigating
