SUMMARY:Applied Collegiate Exoskeleton (ACE) Competition 2025
DESCRIPTION:The next ACE Competition will be held at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor\, Michigan. This international event is designed to spur innovation and highlight first responders and similar occupations that can benefit from emerging physical augmentation technology. It has been running since 2018\, and this will be the sixth time student teams will compete to impress the judges with their powered exoskeletons. \nTeams are challenged to create power suits that can navigate challenges that emulate real-world emergency scenarios. The ultimate goal is to give participants hands-on experience in a collaborative\, innovative environment. The first team to sign up is the Michigan STrength Augmenting Robotic eXoskeleton\, M-STARX (team profile). The team is driven by the idea of using “exoskeleton technology to turn real-life heroes into larger-than-life superheroes.” \nWhy is the competition geared toward first responders?\n“Aside from its inherent life-threatening nature\, the work of a firefighter is grueling. Despite the best of training\, in the face of an active shooter\, even the most tactical responder can be terrified. When the stakes are life and death\, digging through the rubble is exhausting. Now imagine a firefighter who can climb higher and move faster with an exoskeleton propelling them upwards and forwards. Envision a tactical responder who can charge and neutralize an active shooter more safely and just as nimbly with an exoskeleton carrying extra body armor. Picture that responder digging through rubble in the wake of a collapsed building and being able to move stones and beams they otherwise couldn’t with their exoskeleton strengthening them.” \nImportant links:\n\nWhat is ACE – overview and history\nRecap of the 2024 competition\nSponsor Interest Form M-STARX – the competition can benefit from more judges\, funding\, and marketing\n2025 Rulebook and Deadlines\n\nThe registration deadline is fast approaching (Feb 28\, 2025)!

The organizers of A+A believe that “improving productivity and business success is unavoidably connected with work safety.” \nProduct groups: anti-slip mats\, ear protectors\, fire protection\, flooring\, hand trucks\, helmets\, marking products\, protective clothing\, respirators\, safety gloves\, safety shoes\, vehicles\, and working clothes… \nIndustry sectors: Environment\, Fire protection\, Industrial Safety\, Safety at work\, … \nPrevious WearRAcon Europe Events:\n \n2023: WearRAcon Europe 2023 took place in conjunction with A+A\, ExoWorkAthlon\, and ExoPark. The conference brought together over 100 researchers\, producers and users of exo technology. The ExoPark\, which was in an adjacent hall\, introduced this new wearable solution family to an estimated 5\,000 visitors (out of 60\,000 total visitors to the trade fair). ExoPark was a combination of 15 exoskeleton producers and distributors clustered together adjacent to the ExoWorkAthlon exo demonstration area. By all accounts\, the event successfully educated and accelerated exo adoption in Europe. \n2021: WearRAcon Europe 2021 took place as a virtual event. International representatives of various industrial exoskeleton application sectors reported on their experiences in developing\, implementing\, and evaluating exoskeleton systems. Further exoskeleton research topics\, such as exosuits\, digital biomechanics\, as well as human factors influencing acceptance\, were discussed extensively. Notably\, the Laevo Flex was introduced to the public for the first time at the event (link).The 2021 edition also saw the first iteration of the EXOWORKATHLON®\, a physical live experiment putting commercial exoskeletons to the test\, which was held in conjunction with the conference. \n2020: WeRob and WearRAcon Europe joined forces together to create a four-day virtual conference on exoskeletons\, wearable robotics\, rehabilitation devices\, orthotics\, and neuro-rehabilitation held in parallel with the 2020 International Conference on Neurorehabilitation. Keynote speakers include Matt Marino from HeroWear\, Prof. Arun Jayaraman\, hailing from the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab\, and Prof. Roger Gassert\, ETH Zurich. \n2019: WearRAcon Europe 19 was held November 19-20\, 2019\, in collaboration with WearRAcon\, Fraunhofer IPA\, and the University of Stuttgart. WearRAcon Europe was seen as a regional event that enabled the European community to participate\, exchange ideas\, and collaborate in this growing wearable robotics field. Attendees heard from renowned exoskeleton pioneers like Thomas Sugar\, ASU\, and Robert Riener\, ETH Zurich. \nRelevant Links:\n\nWearRAcon Europe 2025 A+A Official Website\nA+A Exo Park\nWearable Robotics Association (WearRA): https://wearablerobotics.com\nA+A Trade Fair: https://www.aplusa-online.com\nWearRAcon Europe: https://www.wearraconeurope.de

SUMMARY:CES 2026
DESCRIPTION:CES 2026 – The Global Stage for Innovation \nJanuary 6–9\, 2026 \nLocation: Las Vegas Convention Center and venues across Las Vegas\, Nevada\, USA \nOrganizer: Consumer Technology Association (CTA)® \nWebsites: https://www.ces.tech \nAbout: \nCES is billed as “the global stage for innovation\,” the most powerful annual tech event where the entire consumer technology ecosystem converges—major brands\, startups\, investors\, policymakers\, and media. Owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association\, CES spans everything from automotive\, AI\, smart home\, and gaming to digital health\, robotics\, and wearables. \nFor exoskeletons and wearable robotics\, CES has become increasingly relevant: recent editions have featured multiple wearable robot and exoskeleton Innovation Award honorees (e.g.\, Hypershell Carbon X and pediatric gait/walking exoskeletons) within the Robotics and Digital Health topic areas\, and CES 2026 Innovation Award announcements already highlight new wearable assistive robots. The number of exoskeleton systems on display at CES has been steadily increasing. I even published an article on Forbes.com titled “Exoskeleton Technology Has A Strong Showing At CES 2025\,” highlighting the increased presence of exoskeleton producers at the event. As of this entry\, eight exoskeleton producers are already signed up for CES 2026\, and likely many more will be in attendance (sometimes joined to a “parent” company or distributor booth). \nThis year\, the Exoskeleton Report team will do their utmost to be personally at the event and learn about the latest and greatest in exo technology.

SUMMARY:Augmented Humans 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Augmented Humans (AHs) International Conference is an ACM-affiliated research conference focused on physical\, cognitive\, and perceptual augmentation of humans through digital technologies. The series brings together human-machine interactions\, robotics\, wearable tech\, AI\, and neuroscience communities to explore how tools like exoskeletons\, brain–machine interfaces\, XR\, wearable and ubiquitous computing\, and assistive devices can extend human capabilities at the individual and societal level. Originating from the “augmenting human intellect” vision of Douglas Engelbart\, the conference now runs annually (most recently in Glasgow\, Melbourne\, and Abu Dhabi\, and in 2026 at OIST in Okinawa) with peer-reviewed proceedings published in the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Digital Library. \nAugmented Humans is an exoskeleton-related event. From the current conference site and past years: \n\n\nThe 2024 and 2025 conference topic lists explicitly include \n“Exoskeletons and assistive devices for the amplification of human physical strength and physiological sensing.” \n\n\nThe 2026 call on augmented-humans.org lists a broader theme block that includes \n“Cyborgs\, Exoskeletons\, and Assistive Technologies” is one of the main topics. \n\n\nEarlier editions (e.g.\, 2021) also included “Exoskeletons and technologies for the amplification of human physical strength” in the topics list\, and past ACM Digital Library proceedings include exoskeleton papers.

SUMMARY:Fraunhofer IPA – Exo Experience Day (Technology Forum)
DESCRIPTION:Fraunhofer IPA is hosting another Exo Experience Day in Stuttgart. This is a hands-on “technology forum” designed for companies trying to understand how occupational exoskeletons differ\, how they work\, and what to consider when evaluating them for real production needs. Fraunhofer IPA positions itself as an experienced (ExoWorkAthlon) neutral institution\, and one of the world’s largest research institutes focused on exoskeleton development and evaluation. \nThe motivation is familiar to many manufacturing teams: skilled labor shortages\, an aging workforce\, retaining know-how\, reducing sick days\, and ongoing work strain even when restructuring is planned; all common reasons companies start researching exoskeletons\, only to discover a crowded landscape with many device types (supported body region\, active vs. passive vs. soft\, etc.). \nA key practical element is the Exoworkathlon® parcore\, where participants can test exoskeletons from different manufacturers in realistic application scenarios developed with industry\, and get a clearer picture of potential use cases. \nContents:\n\n\nOverview of exoskeletons via classification categories \n\n\nEvaluation methods to investigate effectiveness in work environments \n\n\nAcceptance factors \n\n\nHands-on testing of exoskeletons \n\n\nImplementation aids and guidelines \n\n\nOutlook on digital work design with exoskeletons \n\n\nThe event is led by Fraunhofer’s exoskeleton team\, including Verena Kopp and Urban Daub. \nTakeaways:\nParticipants leave with an overview of how exoskeletons function\, hands-on experience testing different models\, and a useful groundwork for selecting systems for their own company. \nNote: The official event page is in German\, so expect a German-first audience/format. \nWhen: \nMarch 17\, 2026 — 09:30 to 16:00 (CET) \nWhere:\nFraunhofer Institute for Production Technology and Automation (IPA) \nNobelstraße 12\, 70569 Stuttgart\, Germany \nRooms: D5.18 + D5.19 \nRegistration + cancellation policy (for the listing)\nRegistration is handled via Fraunhofer IPA’s signup page. \nCancellations up to 10 days before the event incur a €100 fee; after that\, the full participation fee is due. \nTarget audience\nPlant managers\, occupational safety experts\, ergonomics experts\, innovation managers\, occupational medicine experts\, and anyone evaluating exoskeletons for production environments.

SUMMARY:OTWorld 2026 - International Trade Show and World Congress
DESCRIPTION:OTWorld is a medical device-focused combination congress and trade fair. It brings together manufacturers\, distributors\, and service providers of modern assistive technologies with a significant human-machine interface. The last edition in 2024 has 574 exhibitors from 42 countries\, 300+ speakers at the congress\, and over 20k visitors. \nWhile this is not an exoskeleton-specific event\, there appears to be a growing representation of these devices at OTWorld; in 2024 there were: \n\n\nMarsi Bionics – showing the ATLAS 2030 pediatric gait exoskeleton for children with conditions like cerebral palsy or SMA.   \n\n\nMEBSTER – exhibiting UNILEXA 2.0\, a smart passive lower-limb exoskeleton aimed at people with spinal cord injury\, listed under product groups including “Exoskeleton.”   \n\n\nVincent Systems – with LUNAneo1\, a myoelectric upper-limb exoskeleton for stroke/plexus-injury patients\, designed to be worn under clothing.   \n\n\nAdditionally\, there were also congress sessions explicitly referencing exoskeletons (e.g.\, workshops on UNILEXA 2.0 and talks on lifting with exoskeletons). Therefore\, we can expect OTWorld 2026 to have even more rehab/medical exoskeleton content and exhibitors (plus big orthotics/prosthetics players like Ottobock\, where exoskeletons and orthoses blur together). \n

SUMMARY:8th Annual Human Performance & Biosystems Summit
DESCRIPTION:Defense Strategies Institute’s Human Performance & Biosystems Summit is a defense-focused event on warfighter readiness and human performance optimization. The 2026 program brings together military leaders\, research labs\, industry\, and academia to discuss total force fitness\, injury reduction and recovery\, cognitive and physical readiness\, and the growing use of wearable biosensors\, digital health tools\, AI\, and analytics to monitor and improve performance across the force. \nThis is not a dedicated exoskeleton event. Currently\, there is no specific exoskeleton\, exosuit\, or explicit HMI track in the 2026 materials\, but the summit clearly relates to that area because it focuses on wearable biotech\, biosensors\, biomechanics\, rehabilitation\, and human-performance technologies relevant to military human augmentation. The most evident overlap is the planned emphasis on wearable biotechnology\, readiness measurement\, injury prevention and recovery\, biomechanics\, and the use of wearable fitness technologies by the military. Last year’s Defense Advancement summit emphasized wearable biotech and data-driven decision-making\, with panel discussions on wearable technology\, biometrics\, and biosystems integration. \nAttending in person is encouraged; the event is closed to the press and has no recordings. \nDates: June 10-11\, 2026 \nVenue / address: 151 St George Blvd\, Oxon Hill\, MD 20745 \nOrganizer: DSI Group / Defense Strategies Institute. \nWebsite: Official summit page.

SUMMARY:BioRob 2026 - IEEE RAS/EMBS International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics
DESCRIPTION:The 11th iteration of the IEEE International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics (BioRob 2026) is organized by two IEEE Societies: Robotics and Automation (RAS) and Engineering in Medicine and Biology (EMBS). “BioRob delves into both theoretical and practical challenges arising from the integration of robotics and mechatronics into medicine and biology. The main objective of Biorobotics is to evaluate biological systems through a ‘biomechatronic’ lens\, striving to unravel the scientific and engineering principles that underpin their exceptional performance.” \nFor 2026\, the conference website lists “Exoskeletons\, Exosuits\, and Wearable Assistive Devices” as one of the top conference themes\, and the main website prominently features multiple exoskeleton devices (as of writing this entry). In the news section\, the organizers welcome ideas for competitions and challenges\, workshops and tutorials in addition to the usual call for papers. \nBioRob 2026 will take place August 1–4\, 2026\, in Edmonton\, Alberta\, Canada\, as a research-focused IEEE conference rather than a commercial trade fair. Given the dedicated theme on exoskeletons\, exosuits\, and wearable assistive devices\, BioRob 2026 should be particularly relevant for researchers and engineers working on medical and rehabilitation exoskeletons\, soft exosuits\, and control algorithms\, rather than for end-user demos or buyers/end-users. \nThe organization offers financial assistance to attend the conference in person for presenters or IEEE RAS members; more details are available on their website.

SUMMARY:REHACARE International Trade Fair for Rehabilitation and Care
DESCRIPTION:REHACARE has an established exoskeleton product category\, and recent editions (2023–2025) have showcased multiple rehab and industrial exoskeletons (e.g.\, Lifeward/ReWalk\, Laevo\, and others). REHACARE’s official 2025/2026 media campaigns heavily feature exoskeleton content\, so the 2026 fair is very likely to include a significant exoskeleton presence. It’s almost certain that REHACARE 2026 will again have multiple rehab/medical and possibly industrial exoskeleton exhibitors and demos. \n \n\n\nREHACARE’s own official e-mag has a big feature titled “Exoskeletons at REHACARE 2025: An overview of four exciting systems”\, highlighting multiple exoskeleton products and positioning them as a key attraction of the fair. \n\n\nAnother article\, “ReWalk 7 debuts at REHACARE 2025”\, reports that Lifeward presented the CE-approved ReWalk 7 exoskeleton at REHACARE 2025. \n\n\nThe official REHACARE 2024 profile data lists “Exoskeletons” as a distinct product group with its own percentage share\, i.e.\, exoskeletons are now a stable\, named category at the fair rather than a one-off novelty. \n\n\nExternal coverage and social posts (e.g.\, CYBATHLON demos with Angel Robotics\, Laevo exoskeletons at REHACARE 2024\, etc.) repeatedly show powered and passive exoskeletons on the show floor. \n\n\nExpect REHACARE to be a hotspot for innovation\, exchange\, and participation\, a central meeting place for the international community for independent living. Exhibitors from around the world showcase the latest products\, services\, and innovations that make everyday life easier and enable participation.

SUMMARY:18th ASTM F48 Meeting at Committee Week
DESCRIPTION:ASTM Committee F48 on Exoskeletons is scheduled to have its 18th group meeting during ASTM Committee week in Jacksonville\, Florida. Committee subgroups meet regularly throughout the year\, and these events are an opportunity for the entire body to come together in its effort to produce consensus guides and standards. \nDates: Wednesday\, December 9\, 2026 – Thursday\, December 10\, 2026 \nLocation: \nHyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront\, 225 East Coastline Drive\, Jacksonville\, Florida 32202\, USA \nAbout: \nASTM Committee F48 on Exoskeletons and Exosuits was formed in 2017 to develop voluntary consensus standards for exoskeletons and exosuits across industrial\, emergency response\, medical\, and military applications\, and is now starting to look into consumer applications. The committee’s work spans safety\, quality\, performance\, ergonomics\, terminology\, and IT/security considerations across the full product life cycle for both passive and powered systems\, including those with physical or cognitive integration. This additional in-person December 2026 Committee Week meeting provides 2 days of intensive technical sessions to ballot new standards\, refine existing ones\, and coordinate with related committees\, under the staff management of Nora Nimmerichter. \nSubcommittees: \nF48 has six technical subcommittees responsible for developing and maintaining standards covering topics such as safety and human factors\, task-specific performance tests\, quality and reliability\, information technology and security aspects\, and terminology and classification. These groups typically meet in both parallel and joint sessions during Committee Week to progress ballots and new work items. \nDuration: \nCommittee F48 meets twice per year for 2–3 days of technical meetings\, typically in April and December; this Jacksonville session is the additional in-person December Committee Week meeting focused specifically on exoskeleton and exosuit standards development. \nMore Info & Registration: ASTM Committee F48 site (ASTM International – Committee F48 on Exoskeletons and Exosuits).
