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: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: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:WearRAcon 21 Virtual
DESCRIPTION:The Wearable Robotics Association will be hosting its 6th annual conference\, WearRAcon 21\, this April 27-29\, 2021. With current events in mind\, the conference will once again be held virtually. The WearRAcon series has proven to be the largest concentration of exoskeleton\, exosuit\, and wearable robotics talks and interested parties. Each conference typically runs between two to two and a half days. Considerations are given to all subfields of the exoskeleton industry: medical\, industrial (occupational)\, military\, and recreational. More details are coming soon\, but this is what we know about the 2021 iteration of the event: \nWearRAcon 21 will retain its format of keynote speakers and focused series of talks\, as well as the Innovation Competition. This year’s keynote speaker will be Norm Bafunno\, Senior Vice President\, Manufacturing and Engineering\, Toyota Motor North America. Toyota Motor North America is one of the largest adopters of passive exoskeletons for industrial applications and they are coming towards the end of a well planned two-year study. Norm Bafunno will have much to talk about. \nAdditional event highlights include: \n\nAutomobile Exoskeleton Group\nLogistics Forum\nInsurance Forum\nVirtual Demos\nInnovation Challenge\n\nAs well as topics on medical/rehabilitation exoskeletons\, industrial/occupational and standards/insurance. Conference registration will open in January. Visit the WearRA website for more information. \nIf you are not familiar with the WearRAcon series\, take a look at some of our event coverage from the previous five years. \nFurthermore\, submissions for the WearRAcon Innovation Challenge are open between January 31st and February 28th\, 2021. This is an excellent opportunity for labs\, startups\, and even single-person innovators to present their wearable robotics ideas in front of the movers and shakers of the exoskeleton industry.
