Tech Talk, Introduction to Exoskeletons
Enhancing Workplace Safety with Industrial Exoskeletons
The develpment of industrial exoskeletons marks a significant steps in the intersection of technology and workplace safety. Aimed at reducing muscle strains and preventing work-related musculoskeletal disorders, these innovations herald a new era in occupational health. Join us for this Tech Talks that delve into the forefront of industrial exoskeleton technology, hosted by the Exoskeleton Lab at Aalborg University (AAU).
Our session begins with Michael Andersen, Professor from Aalborg University, who will provide an overview of the development of industrial exoskeletons at the Exoskeleton Lab, AAU. This initial discussion will address the key challenges faced in the design and development of assistive exoskeletons, offering insights into the critical role of musculoskeletal models. These models are instrumental in designing and evaluating exoskeletons, ensuring they meet the specific needs of industrial applications.
Afterwards Shaoping Bai, also Professor at Aalborg University, will take the stage to explore the innovative mechanisms behind both passive and active exoskeletons. This session will also cover the performance assessment of these technologies in real-world industrial cases, showcasing their impact and effectiveness in enhancing worker safety and efficiency.
Whether you're a professional in the field, a researcher, or simply intrigued by the latest advancements in technology, this Tech Talk promises to provide valuable insights into the future of occupational health and safety.
