"...a relatively compact summary of various aspects of robotic technology, describing current applications and their potential implications. It provides brief discussions on several specific uses such as exoskeletons, brain-controlled interfaces, and artificial intelligence. The book's strength is that it provides context and a few case examples, rather than detailed descriptions of each application,... [and] an introduction and overview of robotic technologies and their potential applications. This book will be valuable for early career rehabilitation professionals and students in those disciplines....
