SUMMARY:CYBATHLON 2024 Exoskeleton Race
DESCRIPTION:The 3rd edition of the CYBATHLON Exoskeleton Race is just around the corner! CYBATHLON 2024 CYBATHLON 2024 will take place in a global format from 25 – 27 October 2024 in the Arena Schluefweg in Kloten and hubs worldwide. A total of 160 teams from all around the world in eight different disciplines are scheduled to participate! \nWhile in 2016 and 2020\, the goal of the exoskeleton discipline was to get users safely across\, in this edition\, the stakes are much higher! In the first race in 2016\, some of the teams couldn’t finish\, and those that did needed about 9 minutes. Four years later\, exo technology had improved so much that teams could finish the course in half the time. In 2024\, just moving across obstacles will not be enough! The challenges are designed to evaluate gait-assist powered exoskeletons against real-world challenges and performing tasks while using an exo. It is going to be a far more challenging year than ever before! \nCYBATHLON brings teams and media attention from around the globe to highlight practical advancement in medical technology. It is focused more on augmentation and tasks of everyday living than rehabilitation. The CYBATHLON is really one of the main reasons why the Exoskeleton Report’s device catalog continues to distinguish between medical exoskeletons as “rehabilitation” and/or “augmentation” devices. One is designed to be used as a tool until the patient gets better\, while the other is meant as a permanent aid. \n  \n \nLink to event: https://cybathlon.ethz.ch/en/cybathlon-2024 \n \nLink to rules: Races & Rules CYBATHLON 2024 \nProject MARCH:\nThe ninth Project Motor Assisted Robotic Chassis for Humans\, MARCH\, student team on the TU Delft campus in the Netherlands\, is preparing to enter the competition.

SUMMARY:Masterclass: Are You Really Ready For Exoskeletons?
DESCRIPTION:ErgoExpo returns in 2024 to the colorful city of Las Vegas. Like the 2023 edition\, the conference will feature several talks on occupational and industrial exoskeletons. One of those will be a Masterclass titled “Are You Really Ready for Exoskeletons?” This workshop will be equally divided between a four-member expert panel and a Q&A session. \n \n\nMarisol Barrero will present on workplace readiness to successfully implement an exoskeleton at a company site. This will include but not be limited to leadership readiness and how a company will decide why or why not to use exoskeletons. Emphasis will be placed on what type of decisions you need to make about exos.\nSarah Ballini-Ross will discuss how to plan and prepare a pilot study at your company\, including plans\, worker education\, and getting teams to use the device.\nMatthew “Matt” Marino will talk about how ASTM F48 standards can be used at your company.\nThomas “Tom” Sugar will present on ExoWorkAthlon. What data can we share about how exoskeletons have helped in the workplace and improved the quality of work?\nThere will be 50 minutes of presentations and 50 minutes of discussions with the audience.\n\nExR’s perspective: I have personally met and/or worked on projects with all four presenters. My only regret is that I won’t be able to attend this Masterclass in person. \n“Industrial exoskeletons are a relatively recent innovation that may offer benefits to your workplace.  However\, how do you truly know if you are ready to even trial them\, let alone implement them?   Exoskeleton pilots/trials and full implementation are dramatically different stages of a program\, and understanding the planning and preparation required for each of these stages is critical to success. This session\, presented by the Automotive Exoskeleton Group (AExG) and some of the earliest adopters of exoskeletons\, will provide valuable education and insights from real world experience to help you succeed.” \nLink to the Masterclass Agenda: LINK \nAbout the Masters of the Masterclass (as noted on the ErgoExpo website):\nMarisol Barrero has recently started a new position as Global Ergonomics Manager with Vibrantz Technologies\, a global manufacturer of chemicals and advanced materials.

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 and shepherding their adoption among workers. Expect expert discussions at the event on the crucial topics of exoskeleton matching\, introduction\, and change management. Proper introduction to the technology is vital for its long-term adoption. Occupational wearables promise to reduce worker injuries and redefine physical labor\, but their potential can only be realized when more professionals become familiar with their advantages and limitations. \nAbout ErgoExpo:\nNational Ergo Conference\, October 15-17\, 2024\, Mandalay Bay\, Las Vegas\, Nevada\, US \nNational Ergo is billed as the US’ longest-running ergonomics event and trade show.

DESCRIPTION:AnyBody Technology has used its CAD simulation software with exoskeletons since at least 2015! As someone who loves computer-aided design\, I can appreciate how the company tries to provide an alternative to human-in-the-loop or test dummies with internal load cell testing. After all\, getting reliable information about what happens inside the body is challenging\, even with the best EMG technology. This webinar will present body capture data fed into the AnyBody model to evaluate occupational exoskeletons. Sounds interesting! \nDate:  \n\nOctober 10\, 2024 at 09.00 (CEST) & 17.00 (CEST)\nOctober 10\, 2024 at 12am (PST) & 8am (PST)\n\n“In a time of talent shortages and an aging workforce\, there is an increasing need for a better understanding of physical stress in the workplace in order to better protect workers from musculoskeletal disorders. Occupational exoskeletons in the workplace could be a promising and flexible ergonomic solution to prevent musculoskeletal disorders\, but they are not yet sufficiently understood. \nThe presentation will outline and discuss the results of a modeling study within the research project DigitalExonomics. The AnyBody Modeling SystemTM was used to evaluate the biomechanical effectiveness of existing occupational exoskeletons. For this purpose\, motion data was collected in realistic use cases that were digitally planned and set up together with relevant industry stakeholders. Further\, a methodological approach for the assessment of intended and unintended effects was developed to investigate the complex biomechanical interaction of exoskeletons with the human musculoskeletal system.” \n\n\n\nRead more about the webcast and secure your seat here: \n\n09.00 (CEST) registration\n17.00 (CEST) registration\n\nPresented by: M.Sc.

Senior leaders from across the Armed Forces will address the importance of prioritizing a well-rounded\, sustainable\, & preventive approach to health\, fitness\, and wellness. \nDSI is now welcoming Sponsors and Exhibitors for the forum. To learn more please contact Dudley Duverne at dduverne@dsigroup.org or (201) 987-1803.\nActive military and government and state personnel attend complimentary. Those interested in participating in the Human Performance & Biosystems Summit can visit Defense Strategies Institute’s website athttps://humanperformance.dsigroup.org/. Anyone interested in learning more or sending questions please contact Jessica Joaquim at jjoaquim@dsigroup.org or (201) 824-0077. \nWhat to expect with relations to exoskeleton technology?\nThe Human Performance & Biosystems Summit is not an exoskeleton or wearable robotics specific event\, however\, it promises to be a good venue to learn about the needs of the armed forces and asses opportunities for wearable technology to make a difference. Wearables don’t have to be used for active combat to make a difference either. As an example\, devices that can help with logistics and/or reduce injury during training could be just as impactful.

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.
