On the morning of October 19, 2023, He Junquan, a member of the Chinese Para Swimming Team, and Peng Chao, an "armless boy" from Panzhihuamiyi County, respectively, wore the intelligent booster exoskeleton independently developed by Chengtian Technology and completed their tasks in the torch relay of the 88th stick of Jiande Station and the 4th stick of Fuyang Station. With a streamlined design, waist and leg adjustable brackets and a wearing system, this lower limb exoskeleton robot fits perfectly to the human body, is comfortable to wear, and has a high degree of flexibility.

By wearing this "robot", the human body's senses, thinking, movement and other organs can be combined with the machine's perception system, intelligent processing center, and control execution system, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the physical function of the human body and improving physical fitness. The intelligent assist exoskeleton robot is designed for people with lower limb dysfunction, integrating artificial intelligence, robotics, ergonomics and other technical applications to provide wearers with motor correction, injury recovery, sports protection and improvement assistance, and help wearers safely and standardize actions that were previously difficult to do.

Also at the 4th Asian Para Games, Xu Jialing of the Chinese team's swimming team appeared as the last torchbearer. She wears a BrainCo intelligent bionic hand, in front of the torch tower, Xu Jialing uses "consciousness" to control the bionic hand, adducts her thumb, and holds the "laurel" firmly after bringing her five fingers together. Intelligent bionic hands are fundamentally different from traditional mechanical structural prosthetics.

Intelligent bionic hand is based on brain-computer interface technology, using non-invasive bioinductive electrodes to finely identify motor intentions, so that the upper arm amputee user can accurately control the speed and position of each finger like controlling their original hand, and can complete various interactive postures, making Xu Jialing more stable when holding the torch. The wearing and unloading of the smart bionic hand only takes a few seconds to complete, and it can be used for more than 10 hours after a full charge, and the price is only one-fifth of the traditional imported smart prosthesis. At present, Xu Jialing has gradually begun to use and adapt to intelligent bionic hands.

Next, the team of engineers will help her restore the strength of her stump and re-establish neural pathways, improve the health of her limb, and allow her to better use her smart bionic hand for sports and daily life. The intelligent rehabilitation equipment of the Asian Para Games Village uses scenario interaction to increase interest and provide athletes with scientific and standardized treatment plans. This rehabilitation training robot, designed to fit ergonomics, for ankle motor dysfunction, customized personalized rehabilitation plan for patients.

With the help of the robot, the system records various data and automatically generates a professional rehabilitation analysis report to provide a reference for further in-depth training. Smart bionic legs and smart bionic hands are somewhat similar, but the technology is implemented in a slightly different way. The intelligent bionic leg is converted into instructions through artificial intelligence algorithms, combined with built-in sensor systems, and converted into instructions after algorithm processing, controlling the hydraulic system and matching the user's current movement state in real time. This robot has a learning function, simply put, what actions the healthy leg is doing, it can learn, imitate, and achieve gait following.

Zhu Huashan, director of the maintenance center of the Asian Para Village, revealed, "For example, if a disabled person wants to ski, the healthy leg makes skiing movements, and the intelligent bionic leg can feel these movements and enter the ski mode." If you want to run, you can follow the run, and if you want to walk, you can follow the walk, which is rich in functions and very convenient. "Man An Intelligence's MindAngel is a helmet that can "read minds." Wearing this helmet, it can read what you are thinking, and then translate the instructions to third-party devices such as TVs and air conditioners, so as to achieve "controlling objects with your mind".

For example, a person with a disability in a wheelchair can simply think that he wants to eat an apple, and a family member or friend who is shopping in the supermarket can receive a text message from him on his mobile phone. In addition, people with disabilities can also use their minds to move wheelchairs, control air conditioning and TV programs, and even read the thoughts of deaf people through audio equipment to communicate with others.

In addition to these hardcore "black technologies", there are many high-tech assistive devices in the Asian Para Games Village, such as cochlear implants, artificial retinas, 3D printed scoliosis orthoses, hydraulic ankle carbon fiber foot plates, sign language interpretation software, intelligent power carbon fiber calf prosthesis, pneumatic finger trainer, upper limb intelligent exoskeleton trainer, etc. With the continuous progress in the fields of materials, technology, artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces and myoelectric nerve signals, the help and surprise brought by high-tech assistive devices to people with disabilities are also moving forward.
