Upper limb exoskeleton robots, as highly integrated wearable devices with the human body structure, hold significant potential in rehabilitation medicine, performance enhancement, and occupational safety health. The rapid advancement of high-precision, low-noise acquisition intelligent motion intention recognition algorithms has led to a growing demand for more rational reliable control strategies. Consequently, systems strategies robots are becoming increasingly prominent. This paper innovatively takes hierarchical system entry point comprehensively compares current technologies upper analyzing their applicable scenarios limitations. research still faces challenges such insufficient real-time limited individualized adaptation capabilities. It is recognized that no single traditional algorithm can fully meet interaction requirements between exoskeletons body. integration many advanced artificial intelligence into remains restricted. Meanwhile, quality closely related perception decision-making system. Therefore, combination multi-source information fusion cooperative methods expected enhance efficient human–robot personalized rehabilitation. Transfer learning edge computing enable lightweight deployment, ultimately improving work efficiency life end-users.
