Join us on the Exoskeletons and Wearable Robotics podcast episode 22 with Dr. Tom Sugar (Wearable Robotics Association) and Bobby Marinov (Exoskeleton Report) as we recap RehabWeek 2025, a world-leading conference on rehabilitation robotics, medical exoskeletons, and neurotechnology, held in Chicago this May. In this episode, Tom shares highlights from the exhibition floor, where 6+ societies united to showcase the future of human mobility. Hear firsthand impressions of cutting-edge exoskeletons and rehab technologies from:

• RobotCT: lower-limb and pediatric exoskeletons
• XoMotion: hands-free self-balancing gait systems
• Wandercraft: autonomous walking exoskeletons
• NextStep Robotics: powered ankle assistance for drop foot
• Fourier Rehab: upper- and lower-limb therapy robots and humanoid assistants
•  Robotomize: hip, shoulder, and hand rehabilitation devices

If you prefer to listen to the episode rather than watch it, follow these links to Buzzprout or find us on any major audio distribution channel.

In summary:

• RehabWeek 2025 exemplified cross-disciplinary collaboration, bridging medical robotics, rehabilitation science, and organizations.

• The exhibition allowed people to experience hands-free exoskeletons and rehabilitation robots.

• Both hosts emphasized the importance of practitioners touching and trying new devices rather than relying solely on online materials.

Special thanks to our supporters!
