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.

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

SUMMARY:AnyBody Tech Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The 3D virtual simulation company AnyBody Technology A/S is planning to host a webcast titled biomechanical investigation of a passive upper extremity exoskeleton for manual material handling – A computational parameter study. \nThe webcast will be presented twice on Tuesday\, Jan 12th: \nJan 12th\, 9:00 AM (CET) (or 12am Pacific): https://conta.cc/38WtCrD\nJan 12th\, 5:00 PM (CET) (or 8am Pacific): https://conta.cc/3rRW5aI \nBoth sessions will be held by Bo Eitel Seiferheld\, M.Sc. Sports Technology\, Department of Health Science and Technology\, Aalborg Universitet\, Denmark. \n“Manual material handling tasks at supermarket stores is a very common activity and it is associated with the development of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. This presentation will show how on-site data recordings can be used together with the AnyBody Modeling System to assess the benefits of a passive upper extremity exoskeleton as a protective device. Additionally\, it will provide an interesting computational parameter approach to investigate how to adjust an exoskeleton to fit a specific task.” \nThe presentation promises to address many hot-topics for exoskeletons such as efficacy and adjusting to specific user cases. \nAnyBody Technolgy has been very active in integrating computer-aided design (CAD) models with exoskeletons or other wearable devices. In addition to modeling the internal skeleton\, the software also models muscles and reaction forces. The ExR team encountered this software solution back in 2015 (Modeling a Human in an Exoskeleton: AnyBody Simulation) and the company has been actively engaged in the exoskeleton industry ever since. \nThere is still much discussion in the community at large on the accuracy and usefulness of virtual models when it comes to understanding the human-machine interactions of wearable devices. Without a doubt\, however\, there are more software simulations than ever before that are looking at human-machine interactions\, especially those between a user and an exoskeleton device.
