Lecture Content
The aging problem calls for the increasingly urgent needs in medical technology and health-assisted technology. With the continuous development of computers, artificial intelligence and robotics, medical health assistive technologies are gradually entering people’s lives. This lecture begins with a brief introduction to Bournemouth University in the United Kingdom, followed by an introduction to Kang’s assistive technology, as well as some foreign research institutions in this area. Then the concepts and methods of adaptive robots, especially HPCPS (Human Adaptive CPS), are discussed, and the research frontier and some application problems of current robots are interpreted. This lecture specifically describes the application prospects of robots in the field of medical health assistive technology.
