SUMMARY:National Ergo Conference
DESCRIPTION:ErgoExpo this year will feature several talks on occupational and industrial exoskeletons. While the conference isn’t solely focused on wearable robotics\, the subject will be prominently discussed. \nA prevailing challenge in the industry continues to be accurately matching exoskeleton devices to specific tasks. Expert discussions at the event are crucial\, coupled with the need for broader awareness of practical exoskeleton technology. Occupational wearables promise to reduce worker injuries and redefine physical labor\, but their potential can only be realized when more professionals become familiar with and understand them. \nAbout ErgoExpo:\nNational Ergo Conference\, November 8-10\, 2023\, Caesars Forum\, Las Vegas\, Nevada\, US \nNational Ergo is billed as the US’ longest-running ergonomics event and trade show. It offers the Ergonomics community a platform to learn from industry leaders through over 40 educational sessions\, keynotes\, and workshops. The event encompasses a range of topics\, from office seating to exosuits and work automation. Attendees can anticipate educational content\, networking opportunities with professionals\, and an exhibit hall showcasing a diverse array of ergonomic products and innovations. National Ergo 2023 serves as a comprehensive gathering for those in the field. \nFor registration\, speakers\, hotel block\, and much more visit: http://ergoexpo.com \n\nFeatured image: Las Vegas Strip from Above by DAPA Images via Canva Pro

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.

SUMMARY:I GOT LEGS: Exoskeleton Race - April 2023
DESCRIPTION:The next Exoskeleton Race\, organized by I GOT LEGS\, will be held from 12 pm-1 pm on April 29\, 2023. There is a planned Facebook Live video feed on the I GOT LEGS Facebook page. The event will be divided into a virtual and in-person race. \nThe in-person Exo-Race will be part of the second day of the Clemson Palmetto Games held at Clemson University. As of three weeks before the event\, two exo-racers are registered to go head-to-head on the field. The online component of the race\, however\, is expected to draw anywhere between 8 to 12 other exoskeleton racers doing the Virtual Race on the same day (April 29). A successful virtual race may draw more people to travel for future in-person interactions with the race. \nI GOT LEGS plans to host a handful of Exoskeleton Races throughout the next couple of years. For more\, read: Welcome to the World of Bionic Competition: The Exoskeleton Racing League. \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. The 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. \nIt is not too late to register for either the 1-mile or 5-km events.

SUMMARY:WearRAcon 2023
DESCRIPTION:The largest conference dedicated to exoskeleton technology for the North American continent\, WearRAcon 23\, will occur this year from Thursday to Friday: March 30 – 31st\, 2023. The first WearRAcon was held in 2016\, and rain or shine\, the conference has been held either virtually or in-person yearly ever since. \nThere are two major changes for the 8th iteration of the Wearable Robotics Association Conference (WearRAcon): First\, for the first time ever\, the conference will be held in New Orleans\, Louisiana\, rather than the usual Scottsdale\, Arizona\, location. The change was done to accommodate those attending the Applied Ergonomics Conference at the same venue. This way\, attendees interested in ergonomics can also do a deep dive into the world of exoskeletons\, and those with interest in occupational and industrial exoskeletons could also learn about the latest practical applications. For the second major change\, WearRAcon will be condensed from two and a half days to two days. \nWearRAcon is an important conference to calibrate one’s understanding of the latest in exoskeleton technology over the year. The Exoskeleton Report team has missed the event only one time ever due to unavoidable circumstances. \nThis year’s keynote speaker is scheduled to be Dr. John Howard\, the Director of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Administrator of the World Trade Center Health Program in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. \nNIOSH has expressed an active interest in industrial exoskeletons and has been collecting data on their use. In the U.S.\, exoskeleton producers have been forging ahead with industrial devices\, relying on direct sales. Unlike the EU government\, which has financed wearable robotics studies and technology groups (mainly through its Horizon Program)\, the U.S. civilian government agencies have been mostly on the sidelines. Therefore this keynote presentation could be a unique and valuable peek into their unique perspective. \nMore information:\n\nTo join the event\, all information for registration is available here: http://www.wearablerobotics.com/wearracon23/registration/\nTentative Conference Agenda: http://www.wearablerobotics.com/wearracon23/agenda/\nLink to the hotel room block: https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/group-booking/MSYRN/G-II23\nSponsorship Opportunities: http://www.wearablerobotics.com/wearracon23/sponsorship-opportunities/\n\nCoverage of past WearRA conferences:\n\nRecap of WearRAcon 21 Day Two\nFirst Day Of The Wearable Robotics Conference\, WearRAcon 21\nWearRAcon 20 Day Two Report\nHeroWear Reveals the Apex Exosuit at WearRAcon 20\nWearRAcon 20 Day One Report\nWearable Robotics Association Conference – WearRAcon19 – Day 3\nThe Fourth WearRAcon Innovation Challenge was the Best One Yet!\nWearable Robotics Association Conference – WearRAcon19 – Day 2\nWearable Robotics Association Conference – WearRAcon19 – Day 1\n\nWearRAcon18 Day Three Report\nWearRAcon18 Innovation Challenge\nWearRAcon18 Day Two Report\nWearRAcon18 Day One Report\nWearRAcon17 Day Three Report\nWearRAcon17 Day Two Report\nWearRAcon17 Day One Report\nWearRAcon16 Day Three Report\nWearRAcon16 Innovation Competition\nLaevo Presentation and Demo at WearRAcon16\nWearRAcon16 Day 2 Report\nWearRAcon16 Day 1: Report

SUMMARY:Webinar: Buy America for Exoskeletons by ASTM International
DESCRIPTION:ASTM International is proud to host the webinar titled Buy America: Domestic Preferences for Exoskeleton Procurements. \nThis webinar could be vital and informative for exoskeleton producers\, suppliers\, and investors if they have any aspirations to sell wearables to the US government. It is cumbersome\, but those wishing to engage in sales with US government agencies may be required to explain where their exoskeletons were made and sourced. Just like dealing with the FDA for medical exoskeletons\, it is better to know in advance what requirements may be placed on exoskeleton developers and their products. ASTM International is providing this webinar free of charge\, but registration is required. \n“During this webinar\, you’re going to be able to understand how sourcing and manufacturing components for your exoskeletons can potentially exclude you from prospective customers. As you know\, the [US] government spends a lot of money buying things and often sets numerous requirements for the things that it buys\, and that includes exo technology. They focus not only on safety and environmental sustainability but also things like ‘where did materials come from’ and ‘where were these materials transformed and manufactured into the final product?’ The ASTM International Buy America: Domestic Preferences for Exoskeleton Procurements webinar will go over these types of requirements\, how they could be applied to you in your industry\, as well as what they could mean for you as an exoskeleton developer. We hope you join the webinar.” – Nora Nimmerichter\, Technical Committee Operations Manager at ASTM International via LinkedIn. \nAbout the Presenter:\n“Paul Hurst serves as the chair of Steptoe’s Government Contracts Group. He’s ranked in Chambers USA\, and their recent client feedback said he ‘is extremely knowledgeable about all of the complex government regulations that deal with contracting and matters related to small business association contracts.’ Legal 500 US noted Paul attracts praise for his ‘deep knowledge’ and ‘keen analysis of the issues.’ He has significant experience in complex civil litigation and regularly represents government contractors in the defense\, construction\, and healthcare industry. He litigates bid protests at the General Accountability Office\, the Court of Federal Claims\, the Small Business Administration\, and state and local forums\, as well as disputes involving contracts\, fraud\, construction-related claims\, RICO\, and intellectual property pending in federal courts and state courts across the nation. Paul also has substantial experience with other government contracts-related litigation\, ADR\, and proceedings\, including claims\, internal investigations\, government audits and investigations\, reverse FOIA matters\, and civil False Claims Act and qui tam actions. He also counsels clients on matters relating to federal procurement statutes and regulations\, including compliance\, contract changes\, the False Claims Act\, the Anti-Assignment Act\, Small Business contracting\, federal procurement\, procurement integrity\, and corporate counseling for mergers and acquisitions involving government contractors. Paul previously participated in the firm’s Legal Aid Loaned Associate Program. As a loaned associate\, he gained a tremendous amount of trial experience representing indigent clients in matters pending before the Superior Court for the District of Columbia.” \nAbout Buy America:\nNot to be confused with “Buy American\,” the Buy America Act was established in 1982 mainly to regulate steel and transportation supplies. Over time\, however\, it has expanded to include some fabric materials\, and its requirements have seeped to touch wearables and exoskeleton products. For those looking to make and sell exoskeletons for US government agencies\, such as the Army\, it is vital to know in advance what expectations might be placed upon them. \nRegistration link:\nYou can register for ASTM International Buy America: Domestic Preferences for Exoskeleton Procurements Webinar here: link \nTime: Wed\, Mar 15\, 9:30 AM – 10:30 AM PDT

SUMMARY:ErgoX Symposium 2022
DESCRIPTION:The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society is hosting an in-person ErgoX Symposium\, which will include an entire one-day track on exoskeletons and exosuit technology. The ErgoX Symposium will take place between October 14 and 15\, with educational tracks on cybersecurity\, extended reality\, exoskeletons\, and robotics. The Exoskeleton Track will take place on Saturday\, October 15\, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. It is sponsored by the ASTM Exo Technology Center of Excellence. \nThe theme for this year will be “Blending Worlds – The Evolving Ecosystem of Exoskeletons.” It is hosted again by Chris Reid\, who has done a fantastic job leading and organizing prior iterations. The Exoskeleton Report team has had the pleasure of attending ErgoX in person in 2018 (link) and virtually (link). This year\, ErgoX will again be held in person\, providing ample opportunities for wearing new exoskeletons and networking. For North America\, the HFES ErgoX Exoskeleton track in the fall is a perfect counterbalance to WearRAcon in the spring. \n\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.” \nThis year’s Keynote Speaker will be Dr. Thomas Karakolis. He will present “Military Exoskeletons and What Will it Take for them to be Adopted?” Scheduled presentations will include field and research evaluations\, brain-machine interfaces for powered exoskeletons\, human-system integrations\, and lessons learned from occupational exo deployment. \nLocation: \nThe 2022 ErgoX Symposium takes place immediately following the 66th Annual Meeting of HFES at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Atlanta\, GA\, USA. \n\nInformation and Registration:\nhttps://www.ergox2022.org/exoskeletons

SUMMARY:ExoBerlin 2022
DESCRIPTION:ExoBerlin is moving from October 2021 to October 2022. \nSave the date for the International Exhibition and Conference for Exoskeleton & Human Augmentation Systems (ExoBerlin). ExoBerlin 2020 was one of many in-person events that were canceled in 2020 following the Covid-19 restrictions issued by the German Government. The third iteration of the event will have another go-at-it on December 19 and 20\, 2021. You can find more information about the event on the ExoBerlin website. \nWhile the Exoskeleton Report team was not able to attend the 2019 event\, Matthias Bey stepped up to the plate and has written a wonderful recap (with an entire picture gallery) of the conference: EXOberlin 2019 – Onsite Report \nExoBerlin is envisioned to be a gathering centered around exoskeletons\, wearable assistive devices\, intelligent artificial limbs\, wearable sensors\, and smart fabrics. Additional topics will likely include performance monitoring\, motion analysis\, human-robot interactions\, biologically-inspired systems\, and physical rehabilitation. All of these are topics relevant to the wearable robotics industry. \nThe plan is to have the event structured like WearRAcon and ErgoX: the main exhibition floor with concurrently running technology talks. \nTicket sales are scheduled to go live in July 2021.

SUMMARY:EUROBENCH 2022 SUMMIT
DESCRIPTION:The EU-funded EUROBENCH project will host a “EUROBENCH Final Even” this June 21-22\, 2022 in Madrid\, Spain. The summit will have a digital component through YouTube: \n\nEUROBENCH Summit Tuesday 21\, June 2022: Link to YouTube\nEUROBENCH Summit Tuesday 22\, June 2022: Link to YouTube\n\nThe online component of the summit will be free to access. EUROBENCH is working to create a benchmarking framework for robotic systems in Europe\, including exoskeletons. The summit will bring together all the involved entities and many companies and researchers involved with the project. \nAgenda:\nThere are a total of 17 talks planned for this event. The full agenda can be found on the EROBENCH website (link). The talks focused on exoskeletons and wearable robotics will be mainly during the first day and include a wearable robots session centered around balance while using exoskeletons\, moving through narrow spaces\, measuring upper limbs involvement\, benchmarking exoskeleton-assisted gait\, navigating stairs\, and resilience (presumably of the wearable devices). Additional sessions will include human-robot interactions (which could include cobots and other non-wearable devices)\, regulations\, and performance. Both days will include a 2-hour lunch for networking\, for those attending the event in person. \nAbout EUROBENCH:\nThanks to the collaboration of the funded entities\, EUROBENCH has developed: \n\nTwo Testing Facilities\, one for wearable robots (located in the Hospital Los Madroños\, in Brunete\, Spain) and the other for humanoid robots (located in the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia\, in Genova\, Italy)\, to allow perform standardized tests on robotic prototypes in a unique location\, saving resources and time.\nA unified Benchmarking Software\, which includes: 1) common protocols to execute standardized tests in any lab setting\, 2) computational tools to compute performance scores according to quantitative Performance Indicators\, and 3) a unified database to compare the performance results with other systems.\n\nThis final event aims to bring together all the entities that have participated in the development of EUROBENCH. All companies and researchers in the field of robotics are also welcome! It is an essential meeting for robotics benchmarking in Europe. \nFor more information\, follow this link to the EUROBENCH Summit website. \n

SUMMARY:Presentation: Human-Centered Design of Exoskeletons
DESCRIPTION:The National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine is hosting a free one-hour public session of the meeting of the Board on Human-Systems Integration. The topic of choice will be a discussion of a potential project on human-centered design principles for the development and application of powered and passive exoskeleton technology. \nThe discussion will look at what the future of work could look like? How can we keep improving labor-intensive activities that are known to lead to ergonomics-related worker risk for injuries? \nThe event will be led by Christopher Reid\, HFES – Human Factors and Ergonomics Society\, and Dr. William S. Marras from the Spine Research Institute\, The Ohio State University for The National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine’s Board of Human Systems Integration (BOHSI). The presentation will be open to the public for virtual attendance. \nTime: June 2\, 2022; 10:40-11:40 AM EDT \nRegistration Link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/human-centered-design-of-exoskeletons-tickets-344799573807 \nWhy this presentation could be of interest:\nBoth presenters have years of experience in evaluating exoskeleton technology. There is ample evidence to demonstrate that earlier design validation with test users leads to better product results. It is curious what these two experts have to say on the subject and how they envision both the future of exoskeleton technology and the integration of human evaluation earlier in the design and prototype stages.

SUMMARY:IARx2022 First Ibero-American Symposium on Robotic Rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:EXOesqueleto REHAB in collboration with LATAMNOVA.TECH\, is organizing the First Ibero-American Symposium on Robotic Rehabilitation from May 23-26\, 2022\, via streaming. The main objective of the symposium is to promote the use of healthcare robotics technology at a Latin American level. To achieve this\, the organizers have confirmed world-class experts such as Ángel-Gil Agudo (president of the Ibero-American Association of Supportive Technologies for Disability ) and Marie André Destarac (Dr. in Robotics and Project Manager of Marsi Bionics\, creators of the first exoskeleton for children in the world). \nIARx2022 will be a virtual Symposium that will take place over four half-days from May 23 to 26\, 2022 starting at 9:00 AM Chile time (GMT -3). There will be a different theme for each day (from healthcare robotics to local experiences)\, including at the end of each day a round table to exchange opinions (along with guests\, directors\, and persons of interest). You can find an extensive brochure with all speakers\, additional information\, and registration at the IARx2022 website hosted on LATAMNOVA: link. \nThe majority of IARx2022  presentations will be in Spanish. \nWhy Ibero-America?\nThe First Ibero-American Symposium on Robotic Rehabilitation organizers see a significant gap between the technological utilization\, such as medial exoskeletons\, in Spain and Latam. IARx2022 is an opportunity to transfer positive experiences from Europe to Latam. The organizers see a delay in leveraging rehabilitation robotics in Latam in particular. The event aims to address the lack of technical knowledge and the perception of high or unattainable investment thresholds. The symposium will increase visibility and awareness of the new technological capabilities and gather vendors who develop innovation while fine-tuning the financial analysis related to investing in the top physical rehabilitation technology. These insights are meant to provide the end-users with the best solutions possible. \nAbout the Organizer\nLATAMNOVA.TECH is in the area of conferences and consulting on technology\, Industry 4.0\, and digital transformation. The company has 15 years of experience helping Ibero-American and global companies address their productive challenge through consultancy services and training programs.

SUMMARY:Webcast: AnyBody Technology on Whole-Body Physical Human-Robot Interactions
DESCRIPTION:The digital modeling giant\, AnyBody Technology is inviting everyone to a free webinar(webcast) titled “Automatic ergonomics whole-body motion analysis and physical human-robot interaction.” The webinar will show the results of a pilot study that evaluated the impact of occupational lower-back exoskeletons\, specifically the Laevo\, Corfor\, CrayX\, and backX. The webcast will take place twice on Monday\, February 28 at 9am CET (12 at night Pacific Time) and 5pm CET (8 am Pacific Time). \nYou can find additional information and registration instructions on the AnyBody Tech website: https://www.anybodytech.com/events/ \nFig 1 from Using exoskeletons to assist medical staff during prone positioning of mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients: a pilot study\nThe study mentioned in the webinar is most likely: Using exoskeletons to assist medical staff during prone positioning of mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients: a pilot study by S Ivaldi\, P Maurice and 12 additional authors\, Published in AHFE 11\, February 2021. \nFull text from AnyBody Technology:\nSome work activities in industry are commonly executed by workers in a non-ergonomic fashion\, which may lead to musculoskeletal disorders in the short or in the long term. WMSDs are known to be caused by multiple factors\, such as repetitive motion\, excessive force\, and awkward\, non-ergonomic body postures. Not surprisingly\, work environments with such factors may present an incidence of WMSDs of up to 3 or 4 times higher than in the overall population.\nIn this talk\, we show our approach to evaluate the human motion with respect to ergonomics indexes\, optimize the motion\, and intervene on the task based on the optimized motion. \nIn the first part of the talk\, we show how digital human models can be used to evaluate body posture according to classic ergonomics indexes and/or joint torque estimations. We show how this approach can be extended to evaluate the impact of external agents\, such as robots and exoskeletons\, that may be in physical contact with a human. In particular\, we show the results of a pilot study that evaluated the impact of commercial exoskeletons (Laevo\, Corfor\, CrayX\, BackX) for a typical strenuous activity in the health sector. \nIn the second part\, we propose an approach to improve initial whole-body motions according to one or multiple ergonomics indexes using single- and/or multi-objective optimization. Then\, we make the case that a robot could use physical interactions to drive the human towards more ergonomic whole-body motions\, possibly to an ergonomically optimal motion. \nIn the last part\, we briefly talk about the importance of studying human motor behavior during physical interaction to improve current human-robot collaboration strategies. This is illustrated by preliminary studies on a co-manipulation task executed by a human-human and a human-robot dyad. \nPresented twice February 28\, 2022 by Waldez Gomes\, Post-doc at Université Paris-Saclay\, France \n\nRegister for 9AM (CET)\nRegister for 5PM (CET) \nNote that if you can’t make the webinar\, AnyBody keeps a library of previous programs on their YouTube channel: link
