In this work we present NEUROExos, a novel generation of upper-limb exoskeletons developed in recent years at The BioRobotics Institute of Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna (Italy). Specifically, we present our attempts to progressively (i) improve the ergonomics and safety, (ii) reduce the encumbrance and weight, and (iii) develop more intuitive human-robot cognitive interfaces. Our latest prototype, described here for the first time, extends the field of application to assistance in activities of daily living, thanks to its compact and portable design. The experimental studies carried out on these devices are summarized, and a perspective on future developments is presented.
