SUMMARY:3rd ICORR Webinar: Functional Assessment for Upper-Limb Differences
DESCRIPTION:The International Consortium for Rehabilitation Robotics\, ICORR\, has a new webinar series that regularly features exoskeleton technology. The 3rd ICORR Webinar will be live on YouTube on June 3rd\, 2024\, at 4 pm CET (7 am Pacific Time). This one-hour webinar will be titled “Functional assessment\, a.k.a. Putting user AND device in the picture!” It is unclear what percentage of it would be explicitly devoted to exoskeleton technology. \nThe main topics will be functional assessment for upper-limb differences\, how to assess the acceptance\, effectiveness\, usability\, and potential impact on society of rehabilitation robots—in particular for the upper limb—whether the current solutions are viable\, how we can improve them\, and how we know that the devices and therapies we design are effective and well received by our patients. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LuNQIu8Ang \nThis webinar will be a  panel discussion by: \n\nCorry van der Sluis\nLiselotte Hermansson\nWendy Hill\nJacqueline Hebert\nWith moderator: Claudio Castellini\n\nFor a link to the YouTube webinar\, visit the ICORR Channel:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/@ICORRConsortium \n“The ICORR webinar series are meant to raise awareness and disseminate research in RR [rehabilitation robotics]\, to a mid-level audience\, typically from the M.Sc. student on.” The 3rd webinar follows the webinars #1 (soft exo-suits) and #2 (prosthetic control).

SUMMARY:Gogoa Prize 2024: The MedTech Design Challenge - Deadline
DESCRIPTION:Attention Spanish innovators and creators: The Gogoa Prize 2024 MedTech Design Challenge registration deadline is May 30th\, 2024! \nWho can participate:\nThis friendly competition is open to students of any discipline of Engineering and Technology who are pursuing a Bachelor’s\, Master’s\, or Postgraduate studies from 2023-2024. The competition is focused on Spain\, but it doesn’t hurt to reach out to the organizers and confirm language and regional guidelines and limitations. You can participate individually or in teams of up to 4 people. \nThe challenge:\nDesign of an exoskeleton to assist the motor skills of the elderly. Do you think medical exoskeletons are too expensive or too slow? How would you approach them? For example\, we (ExR) have seen companies like Seismic use coiled ropes to bypass the need for transmission to transform high-speed low-torque rotation to low-speed high-torque linear movement\, which is not too different from a Roman catapult. It doesn’t have to be a high-tech\, complicated idea for it to be good! \nVisit https://www.gogoa.eu/en/gogoaprize for registration\, evaluation criteria\, and additional information. \nAnnounced is a  €1\,000+ award from Gogoga Mobility Robots\, in addition to a communication blast by the company for the winner or winning team! \nWill you participate in Cybathlon 2024\, the ASTM ExoGames 2024\, or the Gogoa Challenge!? This year is full of opportunities for students to make a difference and be recognized in the field of wearable robotics! \n

SUMMARY:Assist Suit Association Summit in Fukuoka
DESCRIPTION:The Japanese Assist Suit Association has announced its fourth public event to raise awareness of occupational exoskeletons and similar products and reinforce the formation of an emerging market. The exo “experience” will be held at the Hakata International Exhibition Center & Conference Center\, located at 305 2-22-15\, Toko\, Hakata-ku\, Fukuoka City\, Fukuoka Prefecture 812-0008\, on: \n\nMay 30\, 2024 (Thursday) 13:00 to 17:00\nMay 31\, 2024 (Friday) 10:00-16:00\n\nEntrance will be free\, and visitors will not require advanced registration. The venue is accessible to people with disabilities. \nExhibitors:\nThe event is organized by the Assist Suit Association (https://assist-suit.org). There are 8 exhibitors scheduled to show off their technology at the summit (company name and product line): \n\nArchelis Inc. 　[Archelis]\nInnophys Co.\, Ltd.　[Muscle Suit series]\nKAJI CORPORATION 　[Laevo exoskeltons]\nDAYDO CO.\, LTD. [TASK series]\nNippon Sigmax Co.\, Ltd.　[MEDIAID ASSIST GEAR WAIST UNIT (elastic products)]\nDaiya Industry Co.\, Ltd. [DARWING series]\n\nAsahicho Corporation [e.z.UP® (Easy up)]\nKurabo Industries Ltd. [CBW]\n\nThere was a real impact in demonstrating occupational exoskeletons as a product family at the 2023 ExoPark held at A+A. Over one dozen exoskeleton producers reached critical mass in a single united showroom area. The Assist Suit Association Summit in Fukuoka will likely capture some of that same magic and introduce wearable assistive technology. After all\, the best way to understand an exosuit is to wear one for yourself. \nFor more information and registration\, visit: https://assist-suit.org/expo-fukuoka2024 \n\nUpdated April 30\, 2024: corrections to the spelling of the participating company’s names.

SUMMARY:Adam Gorlitsky to Race the Charleston Half-Marathon With Exoskeleton
DESCRIPTION:The founder and powerhouse behind I Got Legs\, Adam Gorlitsky\, will be racing at the Charleston Half-Marathon this January 20th\, 2024\, in Charleston\, South Carolina. Adam will be participating in the race to raise awareness and funds to expand access to walking-assist exoskeletons for para-athletes across the United States. \nYou can catch videos and updates on Adam’s progress on the I Got Legs Twitter (now X) account (link)\, or LinkedIn (link). \nAbout I Got Legs:\nCan you imagine a future in which paralyzed people can get up and compete just like Olympic racewalkers? What if that future is closer than we think? Dares to dream\, I GOT LEGS\, an organization dedicated to creating and promoting powered exoskeleton walking competitions. \nThe Global Innovation Challenge\, CYBATHLON Exoskeleton Race\, and the Exo Games are competitive events that aim to bring researchers and developers face-to-face with the challenges of everyday living or other similar tasks. In contrast\, I GOT LEGS aims to create a brand new Paralympic sports discipline. \nFunds raised from the Virtual Race are meant to create future training programs\, organize the next competitions\, and build a community around this potential new sport for people with walking disabilities. \nThe ultimate goal of the Exoskeleton Racing League (ERL) is to build enough support and data to create a new Paralympic sport “designed to empower individuals with paralysis to stand\, walk\, and race using cutting-edge exoskeleton technology.” \n“When I am standing and walking in my robotic exoskeleton\, I do not feel disabled\, nor do I feel able-bodied; I feel ReEnabled\,” Adam Gorlitsky\, Founder of I GOT LEGS. Adam has completed multiple marathons over the last six years using his ReWalk Robotics powered exoskeleton. \nI GOT LEGS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization “dedicated to ReEnabling the paralysis community to walk again\,” with stated vision and goals to: \n\nTurn Exoskeleton Racing into a Paralympic + collegiate adaptive sport.\nUse the sport of Exoskeleton Racing as a catalyst to increase access to exoskeleton technology.\nUse the sport of Exoskeleton Racing as a catalyst to advance breakthrough paralysis research.\n\nThe I GOT LEGS website correctly reminds its visitors that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not specifically prohibited using powered exoskeletons for sports or recreational activities. Still\, it has not approved them for these purposes either\, so using the device is considered “off-label” (see: Intended Use of the 11 FDA-Approved Medical Exoskeletons in 2023). The race organizers correctly state that current powered walking assist exoskeletons should be used with a qualified health professional and/or certified walking partner. \nFor more information\, visit https://www.igotlegs.org or the I GOT LEGS YouTube Channel.

SUMMARY:WearRAcon Europe 2023
DESCRIPTION:The Wearable Robotics Association Conference European Edition 2023 will take place this year in conjunction with the A+A Trade Fair\, Tuesday through Friday\, October 24- 27\, 2023\, in Düsseldorf\, Germany. \nThe conference will be held with the support of Dr. Urs Schneider\, Director of the Health Technology Division at Fraunhofer IPA in Stuttgart\, famous for the ExoWorkAthlon (link) multi-person live demonstration of occupational exoskeleton testing. Additional information on WearRAcon Europe 23 will be upcoming. \nSchedule and Speakers:\nWearRAcon Europe (or Exo Park) will be a two-day conference on October 25-26 (Wed – Thu). The tentative schedule (link) includes over 30 separate speaker sessions to choose from\, putting on par with any of the WearRA US events. \nAbout WearRAcon Europe\nWearRAcon Europe is an annual event organized by the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation (IPA) and the University of Stuttgart’s Institute of Industrial Manufacturing and Management (IFF)\, in close collaboration with the global exoskeleton interest group\, the Wearable Robotics Association (WearRA). “It aims to present European aspects of the latest innovations in wearable robotics\, with a particular focus on occupational exoskeletons\, and foster interactions between wearable robotics professionals\, end-users from the industry\, experts from the academia\, and representatives from governmental agencies.” \nAbout A+A\nWearRAcon Europe 2023 will take place at the same time as the prestigious A+A trade fair on personal protection\, occupational safety\, and health at work. 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\, … \nSimilar to other large trade fairs\, the A+A conference will be spread around multiple presentation halls. As of the time of writing\, it is unknown in which presentation hall WearRAcon Europe 2023 will be located. \nPrevious WearRAcon Europe Events:\n\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.

SUMMARY:ErgoX 2023
DESCRIPTION:The 9th ErgoX Symposium will be held immediately before the 67th Annual Meeting of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES). ErgoX 2023 will be held in Washington\, DC\, at the Washington Hilton Hotel\, on Monday\, Oct. 23\, 2023. Unfortunately\, this will be the same time WearRAcon Europe and ExoBerlin are scheduled. It is highly improbable that the only three conferences dedicated to exoskeleton technology in the fall of 2023 will take place simultaneously\, but somehow it has happened. \nSimilarly to before\, ErgoX will include four separate tracks dedicated to cybersecurity\, exoskeletons\, extended reality\, and robotics. This year\, ErgoX will be held in person again\, providing ample networking opportunities and personally donning wearables. \n“First held in 2015 and over time formalizing into a user-centered design meeting in 2018\, the ErgoX Symposium has demonstrated that a symbiotic approach to improving the design of technology and equipment is possible. With the goal to improve safe and effective technology user adoption\, ErgoX offers a virtual and physical space to showcase the latest in technology evolution\, research\, and application and their intersection with human-system interaction and integration.” \n“As an annual activity designed to showcase and apply the latest ergonomics science to workplace health\, safety\, wellness\, and injury-prevention issues across a variety of domains and settings\, ErgoX aims to address the demand for safe and effective technology development found through a multi-disciplinary and cross-market collaboration of cognitive and physical research and their resulting application to end user technology adoption. “  \n HFES offers detailed and free-of-charge meeting notes from the previous ErgoX symposiums:  \n\n2018 ErgoX Proceedings\n2020 ErgoX Proceedings\n2021 ErgoX Proceedings\n2022 ErgoX Proceedings\n\nVisit the HFES ErgoX Symposium page for the latest.

SUMMARY:REHACARE 2023
DESCRIPTION:REHACARE is not a dedicated conference for exoskeleton technology; however\, it has been featuring more and more wearables in the past. Some exoskeleton organizations\, like ASTM International’s Committee F48 on Exoskeletons and Exosuits\, already consider REHACARE as an “exoskeleton event.” Videos of REHACARE 2022 show not only a multitude of medical exoskeletons but also some industrial/occupational devices as well (which may be been repurposed for physical rehabilitation). \nREHACARE International is billed as one of the world’s largest (if not the largest) trade fairs for physical rehabilitation\, inclusion\, and care. It is held annually in Düsseldorf\, Germany\, and normally attracts tens of thousands of exhibitors and attendees. \nMain Trade Fair website: https://www.rehacare.com \n

SUMMARY:12th F48 Meeting\, Fall 2023
DESCRIPTION:The 12th ASTM International Committee F48 on Exoskeletons and Exosuits Fall 2023 meeting is scheduled for September 13-15\, 2023. The planned location for the meeting is the University of Central Lancashire\, Lancashire\, UK. Non-committee members are welcome to attend the meeting in person\, but registering in advance will be appreciated. Unfortunately\, the meeting won’t be back-to-back with the ExoGames\, which are scheduled to take place one month earlier at the same location. This will be the first time F48 is meeting outside of the US. \nMore information and registration will be available on the F48 website (link) closer to the meeting date. \nWhy Attend?\nThe Exoskeleton Report has an entire section dedicated to standards news and initiatives (link)\, but why does it matter? In a nutshell\, it comes to communication and accessibility. The first is obvious if every single of the over 120+ exoskeleton developers used their unique terminology\, labeling\, and description\, it would be hard for interested parties to compare and contrast the different wearables. Improved accessibility is a little bit more abstract. In a nutshell\, without standards\, the responsibility falls on exoskeleton implementers to do all of the leg work: selection\, safety verification\, determining how to measure usability and success\, etc… That is potentially a lot of duplicative work and responsibility\, which has to be reproduced at each site that adopts exoskeletons. ASTM International has been working for years and has already published 22 exoskeleton voluntary standards to streamline and simplify the selection\, maintenance\, adoption\, and eventual retirement of exoskeleton products.

SUMMARY:Exo Games 2023
DESCRIPTION:The first-ever Exo Games will bring together STEM university student teams in a friendly head-to-head competition for wearable technology and ingenuity at the University of Central Lancashire\, England. The event is planned for August 15-17\, 2023. As of March 2023\, there are seven teams registered from five different countries (US\, UK\, Brazil\, Belgium\, and India). The Exo Games are sponsored by ASTM International’s Exo Technology Center of Excellence (ET CoE). \nThe ET CoE recognizes the need to create an outlet for STEM students of wearable robotics and human interaction technology to break out from their respective silos in order to connect with peers\, academics\, and professionals. Students will also gain familiarity with the world of international standards. The test protocols created by ASTM Committee F48 on Exoskeletons and Exosuits will be used to structure the challenges and judging during the competition. \nEach student team is expected to complete one exoskeleton for the competition that will be compatible with current off-the-shelf fall protection harnesses. The Exo Games will be divided into four main challenges: \n\nMain Competition to build and test an exoskeleton device.\nDesign Competition to generate a virtual model that may predict the static and dynamic fit of the design.\nPoster Competition to publicize the team’s work and illustrate how the design would be presented to a general audience unfamiliar with wearable technology.\nPresentation Competition in which teams will give a short overview of their design and development process.\n\nIf you are curious\, there are more detailed specifications for the 2023 Exo Games on the ET CoE LinkedIn page: link. \nKey Individuals:\nThe Exo Games will not take place without the support of ASTM International and the main organizers: Matthew Dickinson\, Senior Lecturer at the University of Central Lancashire; William Billotte\, Executive Director of Exo Technology Center of Excellence; and Nora Nimmerichter\, Manager of Technical Committee Operations. \nRare Opportunity:\nHistorically\, exoskeleton technology competitions have been few and far between. The Cybathlon\, WearRA Innovation Challenge\, and Toyota Mobility Challenge do not exclude student teams\, but they could end up competing against companies and professionals. The last Applied College Exoskeleton (ACE) challenge was held in 2022\, and there may not be another one for some time. This leaves the Exo Games as a rare opportunity for students to collaborate and learn about this emerging technology within the guides set by the competition. \nReal-Life Applications\nThe Exo Games are built around exposing students to practical and realistic challenges and applications of exoskeleton technology. Simultaneously\, the evaluation of the devices will be based on ASTM International standards and work items. Below are the tasks that users of the wearables the teams are designing are expected to perform: \n\nMobility challenge: sit-to-stand and walk.\nTransferring a load while simulating additional safety gear (similar to a bomb disposal squad suit or working in a radioactive environment).\nPalletization of boxes\, akin to a warehouse and other logistical environments.\nDexterity test – can the exoskeleton user still perform fine manipulation\, or is their attention or fine hand movement impeded by the student design device?\n\nThe expectation is for the exoskeleton devices in the competition to cost less than $2\,000 to build and to challenge the participant’s knowledge of the human body and how it can be assisted in performing specific tasks.

SUMMARY:5th Annual Human Performance & Biosystems Summit
DESCRIPTION:This June 21-22\, 2023\, the Defense Strategies Institute will run the 5th Annual Human Performance & Biosystems Summit. This two-day\, in-person event will be strategically held at the National Harbor Marina\, less than 10 miles from the US Capitol. \nHistorically\, this summit has not been attended by many exoskeleton producers. However\, the organizers of the event would like to change that. Enhancing and maintaining Warfighter performance during training and after deployment is something that exo technology is capable of doing. Both domestic and international military wearables developers have not given up on defense applications. While we may never see a wearable robot for active combat like in science-fiction movies\, companies are still developing exoskeletons for gravity compensation\, walking assistance for dismounted infantry\, artillery setup and loading\, and many others. \nThe summit aims to “bring together DoD\, Military Research Labs\, Industry\, Academia\, and Sports Medicine Professionals in a ‘Town-Hall’ style discussion to help facilitate conversations on the latest developments in human performance capabilities that ensure peak performance of the Warfighter.” Expect to see a representation of most\, if not all\, US Department of Defense branches. \nTopics for the 2023 summit with potential relevance for exoskeleton technology: \n\nReady & Resilient: Driving DoD Optimization of Warfighter Performance Across a Broad Range of Operations\nTracking the Performance and Status of Soldiers During Training\, Mission Planning\, and Recovery\nTRADOC Strategy: Leading the Army’s Culture Shift on Health and Fitness\n\nThe 5th Annual Human Performance & Biosystems Summit is complementary and free of charge to all DoD and Federal Government employees. It is an opportunity for the government and subject matter experts to connect\, and the town-hall style of the presentations is meant to encourage a two-way flow of communication. Furthermore\, the agenda is purposely designed to provide ample networking opportunities. \nThe summit is closed to the media\, so ExR must sit this out. US Citizens and NATO Citizens are welcome to attend. Learn much more on the Defense Strategies Institute website: https://humanperformance.dsigroup.org Early registration ends May 26th.
