SUMMARY:Fraunhofer IPA – Exo Experience Day (Technology Forum)
DESCRIPTION:Fraunhofer IPA is hosting another Exo Experience Day in Stuttgart. This is a hands-on “technology forum” designed for companies trying to understand how occupational exoskeletons differ\, how they work\, and what to consider when evaluating them for real production needs. Fraunhofer IPA positions itself as an experienced (ExoWorkAthlon) neutral institution\, and one of the world’s largest research institutes focused on exoskeleton development and evaluation. \nThe motivation is familiar to many manufacturing teams: skilled labor shortages\, an aging workforce\, retaining know-how\, reducing sick days\, and ongoing work strain even when restructuring is planned; all common reasons companies start researching exoskeletons\, only to discover a crowded landscape with many device types (supported body region\, active vs. passive vs. soft\, etc.). \nA key practical element is the Exoworkathlon® parcore\, where participants can test exoskeletons from different manufacturers in realistic application scenarios developed with industry\, and get a clearer picture of potential use cases. \nContents:\n\n\nOverview of exoskeletons via classification categories \n\n\nEvaluation methods to investigate effectiveness in work environments \n\n\nAcceptance factors \n\n\nHands-on testing of exoskeletons \n\n\nImplementation aids and guidelines \n\n\nOutlook on digital work design with exoskeletons \n\n\nThe event is led by Fraunhofer’s exoskeleton team\, including Verena Kopp and Urban Daub. \nTakeaways:\nParticipants leave with an overview of how exoskeletons function\, hands-on experience testing different models\, and a useful groundwork for selecting systems for their own company. \nNote: The official event page is in German\, so expect a German-first audience/format. \nWhen: \nMarch 17\, 2026 — 09:30 to 16:00 (CET) \nWhere:\nFraunhofer Institute for Production Technology and Automation (IPA) \nNobelstraße 12\, 70569 Stuttgart\, Germany \nRooms: D5.18 + D5.19 \nRegistration + cancellation policy (for the listing)\nRegistration is handled via Fraunhofer IPA’s signup page. \nCancellations up to 10 days before the event incur a €100 fee; after that\, the full participation fee is due. \nTarget audience\nPlant managers\, occupational safety experts\, ergonomics experts\, innovation managers\, occupational medicine experts\, and anyone evaluating exoskeletons for production environments.

SUMMARY:Fraunhofer IPA - Exo Experience Day
DESCRIPTION:Fraunhofer IPA will host its first Exo Experience Day. This will be an in-person event for twelve specialists looking to get a crash course on occupational exoskeletons: from selecting and evaluating to implementing and future outlook. Note that the event will most likely be in German. \nCompanies and employees can be drawn towards wearable devices with the promise of combating: \n\nshortage of skilled workers\naging workforce\nin-house skill retention\nlower number of missed days\nor as a supplement to already implemented job improvements\n\n“These are just a few of the reasons why manufacturing companies often come across the term “exoskeletons” in their research. However\, the research also shows that the world of exoskeletons is extremely diverse. The systems differ\, among other things\, according to the supported body regions and whether they are active\, passive or soft. Currently\, there are already more than 100 commercial systems on the market and each has its special features. For ‘beginners\,’ however\, it is incredibly difficult to get a good overview and find out what is important for their own requirements in the company.” \n“The Exo Experience Day is therefore an offer for all companies that want to deal with the question of how exoskeletons differ\, how they work and whether exoskeletons can offer adequate support in their production. The Fraunhofer IPA is one of the world’s largest research institutes in the development and evaluation of exoskeletons. Our experts will introduce you to the functional principles of different types of exoskeletons and give you tips for the right choice as a neutral institution. Test various exoskeletons from different manufacturers in our Exoworkathlon® course (realistic application scenarios developed with industry) and get an impression of the potential and fields of application of these technologies.” \nThe event is meant for: plant managers\, occupational safety\, ergonomics experts\, innovation managers\, or those with a focused on occupational medicine. \nFor more information\, location\, price and registration\, visit the Fraunhofer IPA event webpage. \n
