Pediatric cooperative neurorehabilitation is a dynamic field that has witnessed significant advancements in recent years, particularly with the integration of intelligent robotics technologies. This review explores the role of intelligent robotics in pediatric cooperative neurorehabilitation, focusing on its applications, benefits and challenges. Intelligent robotic systems offer promising opportunities for enhancing rehabilitation outcomes by providing personalized, interactive and engaging therapy interventions for children with neurological disorders. Key areas of application include upper and lower limb rehabilitation, gait training, balance training and cognitive rehabilitation. Moreover, intelligent robotics enable real-time performance monitoring, adaptive task progression and data-driven decision-making, facilitating tailored interventions that address individual needs and maximize therapeutic benefits. Despite the potential advantages, challenges such as cost, accessibility and user acceptance remain barriers to widespread adoption. Future research directions include the development of more affordable and user-friendly robotic systems, integration of virtual reality and gamification elements and validation of intelligent robotics interventions through rigorous clinical trials. By leveraging intelligent robotics in pediatric cooperative neurorehabilitation, clinicians and researchers can enhance the quality of care, optimize functional outcomes and improve the overall wellbeing of children with neurological impairments.
