SUMMARY:Webinar: Ottobock: #ExoMeet Logistics
DESCRIPTION:Ottobock is hosting a webinar on occupational exoskeletons for work and industry titled “ExoMeet Logistics – How to overcome the limits of automation in logistics?” \nOver the past two decades\, tasks that have been easy to automate have been automated. Even with the progression of robotics technology\, many sub-assemblies or products are awkwardly shaped or lack repetition to make automation feasible. This webinar will be an opportunity to learn how to overcome the limits of automation of load handling in logistics: \n– Presentation of the latest study results on back exoskeletons\n– Why do we need exoskeletons in logistics?\n– What are the user experiences with exoskeletons?\n– What are the challenges in logistics 2021?\n– How exoskeletons work in logistics?\n– What will drive exoskeleton adoption?\n– Paexo Back Product Presentation \nThere will be three opportunities to see this webinar:\n09:00 – 10:30 CET German Program\n15:00 – 16:30 CET English Program\n9am – 10.30am EST English Program (6am – 7:30am PST) \nRegistration: https://www.linkedin.com/events/exomeetlogistics-allaboutexoske6757297354946187264/ \nIn the past\, Ottobock has followed the trend to keep exoskeleton presentations as more than just an infomercial for their products. Expect to see educational material on upper body exoskeletons in general. Overall\, all exoskeleton developers have done a good job at emphasizing not only what their technology can do for their customers\, but how this technology can revolutionize work and construction. \nIf you are not familiar with the Paexo line of exoskeleton for work and industry\, take a brief look at our catalog for a birds-eye view of the three dozen devices in this category that are becoming available on the market.

SUMMARY:Ottobock EXO Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Ottobock is planning to host a new exoskeleton webinar\, January 20th\, 2021. This will be one of the first exoskeleton webinars of the new year. The title is “Exoskeleton for industrial use cases” and it will likely heavily feature the Paexo line of passive exoskeletons. There are\, however\, common themes amongst wearable devices for occupational use so it is likely that this webinar will be a good introduction to the field. \nIn addition to the English version\, future exo webinars will be in German and French. This is the schedule from the Paexo website: \nUpcoming webinars:\nWednesday\, January 20\, 2021 \n10.00 am CET EXO Webinar – GERMAN\n5.00 pm CET EXO Webinar – ENGLISH \nThursday\, January 21\, 2021 \n2.00 pm CET EXO Webinar – FRENCH \nWednesday\, February 24\, 2021 \n10.00 am CET EXO Webinar – GERMAN\n2.00 pm CET EXO Webinar – FRENCH\n5.00 pm CET EXO Webinar – ENGLISH \nDirectly from the source: \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 Industry”. 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.

SUMMARY:AnyBody Tech Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The 3D virtual simulation company AnyBody Technology A/S is planning to host a webcast titled biomechanical investigation of a passive upper extremity exoskeleton for manual material handling – A computational parameter study. \nThe webcast will be presented twice on Tuesday\, Jan 12th: \nJan 12th\, 9:00 AM (CET) (or 12am Pacific): https://conta.cc/38WtCrD\nJan 12th\, 5:00 PM (CET) (or 8am Pacific): https://conta.cc/3rRW5aI \nBoth sessions will be held by Bo Eitel Seiferheld\, M.Sc. Sports Technology\, Department of Health Science and Technology\, Aalborg Universitet\, Denmark. \n“Manual material handling tasks at supermarket stores is a very common activity and it is associated with the development of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. This presentation will show how on-site data recordings can be used together with the AnyBody Modeling System to assess the benefits of a passive upper extremity exoskeleton as a protective device. Additionally\, it will provide an interesting computational parameter approach to investigate how to adjust an exoskeleton to fit a specific task.” \nThe presentation promises to address many hot-topics for exoskeletons such as efficacy and adjusting to specific user cases. \nAnyBody Technolgy has been very active in integrating computer-aided design (CAD) models with exoskeletons or other wearable devices. In addition to modeling the internal skeleton\, the software also models muscles and reaction forces. The ExR team encountered this software solution back in 2015 (Modeling a Human in an Exoskeleton: AnyBody Simulation) and the company has been actively engaged in the exoskeleton industry ever since. \nThere is still much discussion in the community at large on the accuracy and usefulness of virtual models when it comes to understanding the human-machine interactions of wearable devices. Without a doubt\, however\, there are more software simulations than ever before that are looking at human-machine interactions\, especially those between a user and an exoskeleton device.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Back-Assist Exosuits
DESCRIPTION:The Wearable Robotics Association (WearRA) is proud to host a new webinar this December 16\, 2020\, from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. (Pacific Time) titled: Past\, Present\, and Future of Back-Assist Exosuits. The webinar will be hosted by two outspoken key figures in the exoskeleton industry\, Dr. Karl Zelik\, and Matt Marino: \n“Exosuits represent the ultimate in wearable technology\, and include some of the most innovative products being developed today. But\, unknown to many\, they also have a long history. Like everything else\, we can learn a lot by studying the history and present state to know where the future is headed. Attendees will hear from Dr. Karl Zelik\, CSO and Matt Marino\, Director of Ergonomics and Human Factors\, HeroWear as they discuss the past\, present\, and future of back-assist exosuits.” \n \nThe Exoskeleton Report team does not have a preview of the slides that will be used during the webinar\, but we are familiar with the work of both presenters\, and you might be too. Dr. Karl Zelik worked with our team on an article for Forbes online on exoskeletons and exosuits not being associated with any muscle degeneration. In addition to his many publications\, he is also active on social media and often engages in technical discussions. The second presenter\, Matt Marino\, has multiple years of experience applying wearable devices at the workplace on an as-needed basis. In addition to his work and many related committees\, he is also a founding member of the ASTM Exo Technology Center of Excellence. Given their years of past experience and involvement in communicating the potential impact of exoskeletons and exosuits for occupational applications\, the upcoming webinar is bound to be interesting. \nAs the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc across the globe\, webinars and online presentations are now the premier method to stay up-to-date on the latest developments in wearable robotics and exosuit technology. For more information and registration\, please visit the WearRA site: http://www.wearablerobotics.com/events-2/

SUMMARY:Webinar: Dr. Karen Nolan
DESCRIPTION:Ekso Bionics will sponsor a live digital talk from Dr. Karen Nolan\, Senior Scientist in Mobility and Rehabilitation Engineering Research at Kessler Foundation on stroke and brain injury. The webinar will be held Thursday\, November 12\, 2020\, at 9 am Pacific Time. The full name of the webinar is Robotics for Brain Injury Rehabilitation\, Efficacy\, Clinical Integration and Future Directions. \n“Research by Dr. Nolan has focused on large multi-site randomized clinical trials (RCT) in brain injury populations through the Department of Defense\, National Institutes of Health\, National Institute of Disability Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research\, and industry-sponsored funding. Currently\, Dr. Nolan is PI of an RCT (funded by NIDILRR RERC) in investigating the efficacy of robotic exoskeleton gait training for acute stroke and Co-PI of double blind RCT (funded by Department of Defense) investigating the efficacy of virtual reality balance intervention for military\, veteran\, and civilian populations with TBI. \nDr. Nolan’s work has allowed her to gain significant experience in conducting large-scale\, multi-site RCTs utilizing objective measure of functional ambulation and balance in TBI and stroke. She is recognized as a leader in the field of biomechanics and motor rehabilitation and has been invited to give presentations of these topics at national and international conferences. Dr. Nolan serves as a grand viewer for National Institutes of Health\, National Institute on Disability Independent Living and Rehabilitation research\, VA\, and is a member of the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine\, International Society of Biomechanics\, and Gait\, Clinical Movement Analysis Society and Wearable Robotics Association.” \nDr. Nolan has been instrumental in educating people around the globe on the potential and advantages of rehabilitation exoskeletons. Her TEDxHerndon talk alone has over 130k viewers to date. In fact\, her research is so influential she is one of the few people to have a category tag on ExR of her own. Most recently\, Dr. Karen Nolan and Dr. Soha Saleh of the Kessler Foundation Receive a Multi-Million Dollar Grant From the NIH. The $3\,547\,908 grant is to study the effects of using medical walking-assist exoskeletons shortly following a stroke. The team is scheduled to conduct a five-year study of “intensive high-dose gait therapy in the acute phase post-stroke\, using a protocol of robotic exoskeleton-assisted gait training.” Part of the rationale is that those that have suffered a stroke could make a faster and more complete mobility recovery with the introduction of early\, safe\, and highly consistent physical therapy. \nYou can register for the event at the Ekso Bionics website here.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Best Practices When Evaluating Upper Extremity Exoskeletons
DESCRIPTION:When should an exoskeleton be used? How can the decision be based on quantitative measurements in both the lab and the field and not an opinion? When it comes to upper body passive exoskeletons Dr. Jason Gillete and Terry Buttler have immense hands-on experience on the subject! The Wearable Robotics Association is proud to present a webinar with both experts on Best Practices When Evaluating Upper Extremity Exoskeletons this Wednesday\, September 16 from noon to 1:00 PM Pacific Time: \nBecause exoskeletons are challenging to assess using standard biomechanical and ergonomic techniques\, best practices are needed to ensure consistency\, accuracy\, and comparability of results between studies. This presentation focuses on one of those best practices. \nAttendees will learn the details behind how the ACGIH threshold limit value (TLV) for upper limb localized fatigue is used as a standard baseline for which measurements taken while working with and without an upper extremity exoskeleton\, can be compared. \n \nPresenters\, Jason Gillette\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor\, Iowa State University and Terry Butler\, CSP President\, Lean Steps Consulting Inc.\, will explain the methods behind measuring percent maximum voluntary contraction and duty cycle with electromyography (EMG) to determine whether a job task is above the ACGIH threshold limit value (TLV) for fatigue with and without an upper extremity exoskeleton. \nIn addition\, attendees will learn how real-world studies and systematic lab testing can be used to develop predictive models for shoulder fatigue. It will be explained how video and motion capture can also be used to help predict which job tasks have higher fatigue risk. \nContact conference@wearablerobotics.com for more information.  \n\nDate: September 16\, 2020\, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM \nWhere: Online \nPrice: $0/Members & Students and $25/Non-members \nOrganizer: Wearable Robotics Association \nRegistration: https://wra5.wildapricot.org/event-3967849
