By allowing individuals to achieve otherwise impossible actions, movement augmentation could revolutionize medical and industrial applications and profoundly change the way humans interact with the environment. Here, we construct a movement augmentation taxonomy through what is augmented and how it is achieved. With this framework, we analyze augmentation that extends the number of degrees-of-freedom, discuss critical features of effective augmentation such as physiological control signals, sensory feedback and learning as well as application scenarios, and propose a vision for the field.2022http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/11716110.1038/s41467-022-28725-7http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/117161oai:zaguan.unizar.es:117161info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/843408/EU/TRIMANUAL coordination assistance for hemiplegic stroke individuals/TRIMANUALThis project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 843408-TRIMANUALinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/899626/EU/NIMA: Non-invasive Interface for Movement Augmentation/NIMAThis project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No H2020 899626-NIMANature communications 13 (2022), 1345 [13 pp.]byhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
