Second Winter School on Wearable Robots
In collaboration with COST Action on Wearable Robots we co-organized the second Winter School on Wearable Robots in Obertauern in Austria. Summary of the event was published in Exoskeleton Report.
SPEXOR at Maker Faire in Rome
We presented our passive and active prototypes to the numerous visitors of the 2019 Maker Faire in Rome.
Wearable Robots for Augmentation, Assistance or Substitution of Human Motor functions
We presented the current advances in Spexor project at the annual meeting of the COST Action on Wearable Robots for Augmentation, Assistance or Substitution of Human Motor Functions on March 19, 2019 at University Politehnica of Bucharest in Romania.
Exoskeletons and Soft Wearable Robotics Day
We presented the the work of Spexor and demonstrated our prototype at the Exoskeletons and Soft Wearable Robotics Day on march 14, 2019 in Amsterdam. The event featured live demonstration of multiple exoskeletons and prototypes in action, key note talks held by experts in the field of wearable robotics and a Swiss start-up, and pitches from five EU funded wearable robotics projects.
Winter School on Wearable Robots Held in the Julian Alps
In collaboration with COST Action on Wearable Robots we co-organized Winter School on Wearable Robots in in the winter sports town of Kranjska Gora in Slovenia. Summary of the event was published in Exoskeleton Report.
Special Issue on Wearable Robotics
We co-organize a Special Issue on Wearable Robotics in IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine where we call for papers on working systems that are evaluated with human subjects in order to determine the technology’s practical potential and impact on people with disabilities, workers, sportsmen, and others.
Live demonstration at Werob & ICNR 2018
We had a SPEXOR booth at the joint event of Werob 2018 and ICNR 2018 in Pisa, Italy, where we successfully demonstrated the passive version of our prototype to the numerous participants of the conference.
Special sessions at Werob 2018
We organized two special sessions at Werob 2018:
Exoskeleton Research in Europe where we brought together researchers from ongoing and recently finished European projects and initiatives on exoskeletons and other wearable orthotic devices. We discussed on how to increase and intensify collaboration and information exchange between the projects and how to make sure that new projects benefit from the results of previous ones.
Wearable Robotic Solutions for Factories of the Future where we gathered specialists in the field of Industrial exoskeletons and discussed the state of the art, challenges and novel results in the very promising rising field for wearable robots.
Keynote and plenary lectures at IROS 2018 and ICNR 2018
Katja Mombaur from UHEI gave a keynote lecture at IROS 2018 in Madrid titled “Realistic models of human motions for better wearable robots” and a plenary lecture at ICNR 2018 in Pisa titled “Optimization-based analysis and design of exoskeletons, prostheses and assistive devices”. In both she extensively discussed modeling and optimization work on spinal exoskeletons performed in SPEXOR project.
Live demonstration at IROS 2018
We had a SPEXOR booth at the largest robotics conference IROS2018 where we successfully demonstrated the passive version of our prototype to the numerous participants of the conference.
