AnyBody Technology has used its CAD simulation software with exoskeletons since at least 2015! As someone who loves computer-aided design, I can appreciate how the company tries to provide an alternative to human-in-the-loop or test dummies with internal load cell testing. After all, getting reliable information about what happens inside the body is challenging, even with the best EMG technology. This webinar will present body capture data fed into the AnyBody model to evaluate occupational exoskeletons. Sounds interesting!

“In a time of talent shortages and an aging workforce, there is an increasing need for a better understanding of physical stress in the workplace in order to better protect workers from musculoskeletal disorders. Occupational exoskeletons in the workplace could be a promising and flexible ergonomic solution to prevent musculoskeletal disorders, but they are not yet sufficiently understood.

The presentation will outline and discuss the results of a modeling study within the research project DigitalExonomics. The AnyBody Modeling System^TM was used to evaluate the biomechanical effectiveness of existing occupational exoskeletons. For this purpose, motion data was collected in realistic use cases that were digitally planned and set up together with relevant industry stakeholders. Further, a methodological approach for the assessment of intended and unintended effects was developed to investigate the complex biomechanical interaction of exoskeletons with the human musculoskeletal system.”
