Rewalk Group is focused on the development of an advanced neural interface rehabilitation system designed for patients with impaired motor functions. This system seeks to integrate electronic devices with artificial intelligence and biomedical technologies, with the ultimate goal of substituting or restoring the functionalities of the human nervous system, thereby facilitating motor recovery in patients. The implementation of intelligent neural interface technology necessitates bidirectional interaction between the human nervous system and electronic devices. This technology encompasses, on one hand, the acquisition and decoding of human neural signals via sensors, translating the user’s intent into control signals for electronic devices in an intuitive and seamless manner. On the other hand, it involves the transmission of commands that emulate neural impulses through electronic devices to elicit motor responses, thus bridging the gap between the user’s intent and their physical capabilities.
课题组研究领域是面向运动功能障碍患者的智能神经接口康复系统，旨在利用电子设备结合人工智能与生物医学技术实现对人体神经系统的功能替代或修复，以达成患者运动康复的目的。智能神经接口技术需要实现人体神经系统与电子设备的双向交互，一方面可以通过传感器采集人体神经信号并解码用户意图，使得用户能以直观自然的方式控制电子设备；另一方面也可以通过电子设备发送模拟人体神经信号的指令，驱动人体的运动行为。
In additon，rewalk group also focus on developing intelligent human-machine interaction hardware system based on electronic circuit technology, user intent recognition algorithm based on artificial intelligence technology, and embedded or upper computer software development for related hardware and algorithms. Our research primary focus is the combination of industry, academia, and research, emphasizing the practical implementation of hardware systems.
