More advanced and reliable robotic technologies for the healthcare industry are required since many industrialized countries are suffering from limited resources for healthcare, and an ever-increasing number of disabled and elderly population. Existing assistive technologies are unsatisfactory in meeting personal needs and fulfilling the required functions at a reasonable cost while being used in hospitals, schools, and homes in therapeutic programs that monitor, encourage, and assist their users. Any innovation to improve the capability of personalization or reduce the ratio of price and performance will promote the applications of robotic technologies in healthcare significantly, addressing more functionalities and targeted patients.

    This presentation summarizes developments of assistive technologies for the disabled population to identify research targets that have guided the author research towards tangible, and measurable progress. Thus, it discusses the demands for assistive technologies for the disabled population, identifying the advantages and disadvantages of rehabilitation robots as assistive technologies and the issues involved in their development. Further, it selects a few critical challenge tasks in developing advanced rehabilitation robots to demonstrate progress. Further, presents some case studies of the author.
