Robotic technology designed to assist rehabilitation can potentially increase the efficiency of and accessibility to therapy by assisting therapists in providing consistent training for extended periods of time and collecting data to assess progress. Recently, wearable-type robots have been used directly on patients to overcome the physical limitations of the body, resulting in the temporary or permanent augmentation of a person’s abilities and features. This Special Issue is designed to provide an opportunity to introduce and share state-of-the-art research in the field of robotic-based technology for rehabilitation and assistance. The scope covers the derivation of a new concept of robots, mechanical design, and controller development for rehabilitation and assistance robots, and the evaluation of robot assistance in biomechanical and physiological aspects.

In this Special Issue, seven excellent papers are published on robotic-based technologies for rehabilitation and assistance. The papers are categorized into three groups as follows:
A. Mechanical Design and Analysis
B. Control algorithm and Human testing
C. Deep Learning and Signal processing
