SUMMARY:BioRob 2026 - IEEE RAS/EMBS International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics
DESCRIPTION:The 11th iteration of the IEEE International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics (BioRob 2026) is organized by two IEEE Societies: Robotics and Automation (RAS) and Engineering in Medicine and Biology (EMBS). “BioRob delves into both theoretical and practical challenges arising from the integration of robotics and mechatronics into medicine and biology. The main objective of Biorobotics is to evaluate biological systems through a ‘biomechatronic’ lens\, striving to unravel the scientific and engineering principles that underpin their exceptional performance.” \nFor 2026\, the conference website lists “Exoskeletons\, Exosuits\, and Wearable Assistive Devices” as one of the top conference themes\, and the main website prominently features multiple exoskeleton devices (as of writing this entry). In the news section\, the organizers welcome ideas for competitions and challenges\, workshops and tutorials in addition to the usual call for papers. \nBioRob 2026 will take place August 1–4\, 2026\, in Edmonton\, Alberta\, Canada\, as a research-focused IEEE conference rather than a commercial trade fair. Given the dedicated theme on exoskeletons\, exosuits\, and wearable assistive devices\, BioRob 2026 should be particularly relevant for researchers and engineers working on medical and rehabilitation exoskeletons\, soft exosuits\, and control algorithms\, rather than for end-user demos or buyers/end-users. \nThe organization offers financial assistance to attend the conference in person for presenters or IEEE RAS members; more details are available on their website.

SUMMARY:BioRob 2024 Workshop: Accelerating Wearable Robotics
DESCRIPTION:IEEE RAS EMBS 10th International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics (BioRob 2024)\, will include a series of workshops before the conference start\, including one on exoskeleton technology. Workshop 30/34 Accelerating Wearable Robotics: Advancements in Mechatronic Prostheses and Exoskeletons and Rapid Control Prototyping to be held September 1st. \nConfirmed Speakers:\n\nProfessor Tommaso Lenzi\nProfessor Michael Goldfar\nProfessor Robert Gregg\nProfessor Massimo Sartori\nProfessor Elliot J. Rouse\nProfessor Hugh Herr\n\nThis workshop recognizes that exoskeletons and wearable robotics is a highly multi-disciplinary field. Expect discussions of exos and mechatronic prostheses focusing on scientific advancements and clinical and industrial use. Topics will include the latest advancements in: \n\nmechatronic design\nrapid control prototyping\nsensory feedback\n\nThe workshop will be divided into two sections. In the morning\, one will emphasize research on lower limb prosthetics. The afternoon section will center around rapid control prototyping in prostheses and exoskeletons. Audience participation during and after presentations will be encouraged. For more\, visit the workshop website: link \nOrganizers:\nMarco Puliti\, Andrea Berettoni\, Giulia Bodo\, Raffaele Giannattasio and Matteo Laffranchi \n

SUMMARY:Workshop: Industrial Exoskeletons: Market Demands\, Challenges\, and Research Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:The Altair Robotics Lab and the Neuromuscular Robotics Lab at the University of Twente will host a one-day workshop on occupational & industrial exoskeletons in conjunction with a broader Italian conference. The workshop will be a full-day event on Sunday\, September 1st\, 2024\, during the last day of CASE 2024. \nIndustrial Exoskeletons: Market Demands\, Open Challenges\, and Research Opportunities will include multiple hours of presentations\, group discussions\, and live presentations. Additional objectives of the workshop beyond the stated title will be to: \n\nCurrent challenges of industrial exoskeleton (ExR counts more than 70 different models at this point\, see: catalog – industrial exo devices)\nHow to reduce the wearability gap?\nHurdles to overcome with semi-active (also known as quasi-passive or hybrid) exoskeletons.\nHow to increase device transparency.\nRanking the main causes of discomfort (and abandonment) of exos.\nLong-term vision: how to reach universal acceptance and device transparency.\n\nThe workshop aims to bring exoskeleton producers and academia together to foster discussions on current obstacles and research opportunities. It will include presentations from both sides in addition to product demonstrations. \nScheduled Presentations:\n\nKevin De Pauw – From proof of concept to market-proof robotics devices; Where neurophysiology meets bioengineering\nAndrea Calanca – Exoskeleton Control: from Actuation to Augmentation\nMassimo Sartori/Mohamed Irfan Refai – Estimating the Operator’s Payloads by Means of Personalized Neuromechanical Models\nJesus Orti -Extending the capabilities of active exoskeletons: actuation and control strategies Advanced Robotics\, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia\nStefano Toxiri – Occupational exoskeletons: Proteso’s experience and thoughts on achieving their impact on a global scale\nEmanuele Palazzi – Fully actuated lower-limb exoskeleton for operators’ assistance and power augmentation in Industry 4.0: RoboSuits state-the-art and case studies\nShirley Elprama – Towards sustainable exoskeletons and user acceptance.\nPhilipp Beckerle/Rodrigo Velasco – Human-centered Exoskeletons: Enhancing Design and Control through User Involvement\n\nDemonstrations:\n\nLEX – The Light Exoskeleton by Robosuits\nProteso Exoskeleton by Proteso\nExo4Work\, a prototype from Vrije Universiteit Brussel\, VUB (reference: Kevin De Pauw)\nAGtuator\, a prototype from the University of Verona (reference: Andrea Calanca)\nEMG-based control testbed\, a prototype from the University of Verona (reference: Andrea Calanca)\n\nRegistration and Additional Information:\nVisit the workshops’ website: https://metropolis.scienze.univr.it/ieee-case-2024-workshop-on-industrial-exoskeletons/ \nAbout the Ltair Robotics Lab: \nAltair Robotics Laboratory is an Italian Center of Excellence in the research and development of advanced robotic systems.\nIt was founded in 2001 by computer science Professor Paolo Fiorini concurrently with the establishment of the courses in Automatic Control and Robotics in the Computer Science Department of the University of Verona. website \nAbout the Neuromuscular Robotics Lab: \nThe Neuromechanical Modeling and Engineering Lab at the University of Twente is part of the Department of Biomechanical Engineering.
