SUMMARY:Webinar: Applications for Exoskeletons
DESCRIPTION:ASTM International Exo Technology Center of Excellence (ET CoE) is hosting a webinar on Applications for Exoskeletons on Tuesday\, August 31st\, 9:00 am ET – 11:00 am ET. Exoskeleton technology for the sake of having a new technology wouldn’t be very useful. This webinar aims to explore the current applications of exoskeletons and where the devices are proving to be of use to those who wear them. \n“The webinar will cover applications in healthcare\, military\, industry\, and construction. Speakers may cover current usage\, methods to determine which applications are most compatible with exoskeletons\, policies\, training\, and practices when implementing exoskeletons\, needed testing before implementation\, and other relevant topics.” \nScheduled speakers based on their applications domain include: \n\n\nMedical: Ozell Sanders\, U.S. Food and Drug Administration \n\n\nMilitary: Jennifer Neugebauer\, U.S. Army Data and Analysis Center \n\n\nIndustry: Chris Reid\, Boeing \n\n\nConstruction: Karl Jefferson\, LiUNA\, Travise M. Parsons\, Associated Director\, OSH \n\n\nThis webinar is free for ASTM members\, and registration and additional information can be found on the ET CoE website here.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Exoskeleton and PPE Interface Challenges Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:The Exo Technology Center of Excellence (ET CoE) with the support of ASTM International will host a second roundtable on the vital topic of integrating occupational exoskeletons with other personal protective equipment (PPE). Industrial exoskeletons don’t exist in a vacuum and they often have to interact not only with the user but with other optional or mandatory safety equipment prescribed at the job site. Depending on the task\, upper and lower body exoskeletons may have to interact and be compatible with safety shoes\, hard hats\, safety glasses\, chemical protective suits\, fall harnesses\, respirators\, spark protective covering\, and others. This is the second online event hosted by ASTM International ET CoE on this topic with the first one held in 2020 “Exoskeletons – Considerations When Deciding to Use Them as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).” \nScheduled speakers include: \n\n\nKalavati Bhashyam\, Harmonic Bionics \n\n\nKarola Hagner\, Bundeswehr \n\n\nTricia Hock\, SEI \n\n\nPhilip Mattson\, Department of Homeland Security \n\n\nBrian Shiels\, ArcWear \n\n\nThis webinar is free for ASTM members\, and registration and additional information can be found on the ET CoE website here.

SUMMARY:ASTM F48 Committee Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The ASTM International Committee F48 on Exoskeletons and Exosuits is scheduled to meet from March 30th – April 1st\,2021 April 6 to April 8\, 2021. Meeting space was secured at ASTM Headquarters in Conshohocken\, PA.  However\, with the Covid-19 pandemic continuing its hold on North America the meetings will be held virtually. The committees will have three days’ worth of meetings and will cater for meeting overlap during these days. The meeting is for committee members only\, but applying to become a member is not complicated. For more information regarding F45 and F48\, please visit their webpages below: \n\nCommittee F45 on Driverless Automatic Guided Industrial Vehicles: HERE\nCommittee F48 on Exoskeletons and Exosuits: HERE\n\n  \nWhat is ASTM F48?
