SUMMARY:Ottobock Paexo Exo Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Ottobock is preparing to host a Thursday\, September 16th\, 2021 introductory webinar to exo technology. Ottobock is the creator of the Paexo series of industrial exoskeletons: Paexo Shoulder\, Paexo Back\, Paexo Thumb\, and Paexo Neck. The webinars will be in French\, English\, and German. \nOttobock will be hosting this webinar in addition to the Paexo Day Berlin in-person event on September 20th\, 2021. \n“Exoskeletons provide daily relief for employees in industry. From overhead work\, lifting activities in logistics\, to activities that stress the joints in the hand. There are very different application scenarios for exoskeletons. \nAre you interested in exoskeletons for your company? \nEnter the world of exoskeletons and work ergonomics and learn more about the development of exoskeletons in our introductory webinar “Exoskeletons for Industrial use cases”. We present the latest state-of-the-art in Ottobock Paexo technology and give you the opportunity to ask questions directly. \nWe look forward to welcoming you personally and to conducting an initial ad hoc ergonomics analysis with you. There are no costs for participating in this webinar. \nUpcoming webinars:\nThursday\, September 16\, 2021 \n10.00 am CET EXO Webinar – GERMAN\n1.00 pm CET EXO Webinar – FRENCH\n5.00 pm CET | 11.00 am EST EXO Webinar – ENGLISH” \nLink: https://paexo.com/exo-webinare/?lang=en

SUMMARY:Webinar: Assessing Paexo Shoulder Exoskeleton Efficiency to Reduce Physical Workload
DESCRIPTION:The Wearable Robotics Association (WearRA) will host a free webinar this September 21\, 2021\, from 7 am to 10 am Pacific Time. The webinar will focus on the Paexo Shoulder exoskeleton by Ottobock. The primary goal of the webinar will be to present study details from the EU-founded “AnDy Project.” The project investigated the efficiency of using the Paexo Shoulder to reduce physical workload in dynamic and static overhead work tasks. For the purposes of this study\, “static” overhead tasks are likely ones that require the user to have their arms raised for continuous amounts of time vs one that has repeating motion from hip level to above the head (imagine painting something above you like a car chassis on a production line vs. attaching multiple items one a time overhead). \nThe scheduled presenters include Pauline Maurice (INRIA\, France); Pavel Galibarov (AnyBody Technology\, Denmark); Lars Fritzsche (imk automotive\, Germany); and Jonas Bornmann (Ottobock\, Germany): \n\nPauline Maurice (INRIA\, France) will explain the methods and results of a comprehensive laboratory study with 12 participants investigating the effects of exoskeleton use on motion precision\, muscle activity (measured with sEMG)\, metabolic effort (oxygen consumption\, heart rate)\, and subjective workload (by NASA TLX).\nPavel E. Galibarov (AnyBody Technology\, Denmark) and Lars Fritzsche (imk automotive\, Germany) will show results of a biomechanical simulation study conducted based on the data collected during the first lab study to analyze the effects of exoskeleton use on muscle activity and joint forces in the shoulder\, back and hip area. The lab study and simulation study outcomes are compared and summarized to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of the Paexo Shoulder.\nJonas Bornmann (Ottobock\, Germany) will show how study results can help generate implications for future developments and practical use cases for the Paexo Shoulder.\n\nEven though the study is focused specifically on the Paexo Shoulder\, it is more than likely that the results will be relevant to other passive shoulder support exoskeletons and occupational exoskeletons for work and industry as a whole. \nFor more information and registration please visit: https://wra5.wildapricot.org/event-4441571

SUMMARY:Summer Webinar Series: Standardization and Benchmarking
DESCRIPTION:The EUROBENCH Project and COST – Action Wearable Robots (CA 16116) will host their fourth and final webinar on exoskeletons and wearable robotics for 2021. The final webinar will be held on September 28 from 10:00 – 11:30 CET. For those residing in North or South America\, the webinars are usually recorded and the links can be found here: https://eurobench2020.eu/summer-webinar-series/. \nAgenda:\n\nFacilitating standardisation for cobots by COVR – Gerdienke Pranke\, COVR project (20’)\nCertification of wearable exoskeletons under new medical device regulation (MDR 2017/745) – Anna Mas\, ABLE Quality and Regulatory Director (20’)\nHarnessing robot experimentation to optimize the regulatory framing of emerging robot technologies – Eduard Fosch-Villaronga and Carlos J. Calleja\, eLaw Center for Law and Digital Technologies at Leiden University (20’)\nRound Table (30’)\n\nRegistration:\n\nAnna Mas Vinyals\, Ph.D. is the Head of Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs at ABLE Human Motion S.L. She received her Ph.D. in Bioengineering from IQS – URL (Barcelona) in 2018\, for the development of a tissue-engineered implant for knee osteoarthritis.\nGerdienke Pranke\, Ph.D.  With maximizing patients’ performance in daily life at heart\, I coordinate the research line Active Therapeutic Devices. With my ATD-colleagues and Ph.D. students\, I focus on clinical application and evaluation of rehabilitation technology to support the functional performance of people with movement limitations. Rehabilitation robots\, soft exoskeletons\, and serious games are the main focus points nowadays. My main research interests lie in understanding the impact of rehabilitation technology on neurophysiological\, biomechanical\, and clinical levels (including the safety of human-robot interaction)\, and supporting its application in clinical practice.\nDr. Fosch-Villaronga is an Assistant Professor at the eLaw Center for Law and Digital Technologies at Leiden University (NL) where he investigates legal and regulatory aspects of robot and AI technologies\, with a special focus on healthcare. Eduard recently published the book ‘Robots\, Healthcare\, and the Law. Regulating Automation in Personal Care’ with Routledge and is interested in human-robot interaction\, responsible innovation\, and the future of law.\nCarlos J. Calleja is a Research Assistant at the eLaw Center for Law and Digital Technologies at Leiden University (NL). Carlos is currently working within PROPELLING\, which stands for “Pushing Robot Development for Policymaking” and is an FSTP (financial support to third parties) from the Horizon 2020 Eurobench project. Carlos investigates the potential for using robot testbeds as data generators for speeding the creation\, revision\, or discontinuation of standards for lower-limb exoskeletons.\n\nStandards and certification is an important topic for the growth of the exoskeleton industry. Potential buyers shouldn’t be the ones that are downselecting devices and solutions based purely on marketing material. For example\, imagine having to purchase a car without an independent safety rating. This webinar could be a window into the efforts by EUROBENCH and how they compare and contrast to those of ASTM International and other organizations.

SUMMARY:SCRA Webinar: Are Exoskeletons for You?
DESCRIPTION:The South Carolina Research Authority (SCRA) will put together a one-hour webinar on industrial exoskeletons from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Pacific Time on September 29\, 2021\, titled: Are Exoskeletons for You? This will be an informative webinar led by Francesco Pochiro\, Innovation Manufacturing Engineer at BMW. The plan is for the webinar to be an overview of exoskeleton types\, their applications in different workplaces\, efficacy studies\, and return on investment (ROI) justifications. Francesco will also discuss EXO implementation strategies ranging from voluntary to mandatory personal protective equipment (PPE). “Prior to his current duties\, Francesco led innovation teams at Bosch and BMW. He introduced the first passive exoskeletons for associates during the assembly of BMW vehicles in the manufacturing lines.” \n“SCRA Industry Manager\, Catherine Hayes\, will discuss the EXO DEMO plans for industry to evaluate multiple commercial devices\, and a proposed industry PILOT to evaluate EXOs to reduce ergonomic risk in manufacturing.” \nRegistration: link
