Exoskeletons are companion devices that help a person to perform various daily activities. These can range from work to medical rehabilitation. The type of activity performed depend on the construction and control of the exoskeleton, so that some devices are for only one arm, others for both, can be driven by motors directly or through cables. Exoskeletons can be driven based on information received from position, force, speed sensors or by using EMG, EEG signals. Exoskeleton wearable devices began to appear around 1980, as an aid in physical work, in the handling of various heavy objects. Over time, they also covered the preventive-rehabilitation medical side, in order to reduce muscle pain or to restore specific movements, attenuated or even missing following accidents or diseases of the muscles. The paper presents an overview of the exoskeletons developed for the human arm.

Under the circumstances of a patient’s upper limb disability, aided by a robotic arm with faulty controls, assistance is needed, using augmented reality as an auxiliary. Our system, with a headset, using an internet connection and an augmented reality device, placed on the assistant’s head, can ensure communication between the two, for both remote supervision and control. The assistant can enhance the control over the robotic arm, while having a head up display on the augmented reality glasses, based on what the patient sees. The communication is established through PC or mobile devices, connected to the internet. Having the patient’s view, and enhanced control over the robotic arm, the assistant can interact with nearby smart objects.

Abstract. In this paper we propose a solution for drive management, by communicating between the vehicles involved in traffic and also with the road infrastructure, like traffic lights, road signs etc. All these elements make up a network in which information sharing is very quick and very safe. This system only warns the driver of dangers or some information that he missed on the road, like road signs. The system does not take control of the vehicle, but displays on an LCD display warnings, information on the operation of the car's engine (information received from the ECU) and information about the distance to the other cars around him.
