This special issue highlights some of the best work presented at the 4th International Symposium on Wearable Robotics (WeRob2018), held October 16–20, 2018, in Pisa, Italy. The papers focus on new technologies in the areas of neural interfaces, soft wearable robots, sensor and actuator technologies, and robotic exoskeletons. Based on the quality and significance of presentations at the conference, some of the presenters were invited to submit substantially expanded versions of their papers to IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE). The papers went through the normal journal peer-review process at that point. Eventually, six papers were ultimately selected for this special issue.
