Exoskeletons

Clear Filters

Ergonomic tools of the future such as exoskeletons are an important topic at the 38th International A+A Congress 2023. WearRAcon Europe is an important conference in this field and will take place at A+A for the first time from 25-26 October 2023. Under the motto “People matter”, A+A 2023 is all about the most important trends of our time: sustainability and digitalization.

How can exoskeletons make working life easier – and keep employees who have to lift and carry heavy loads or work above their heads healthy? Dr. Urs Schneider, Head of the Biomechatronics Department at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation (IPA) in Stuttgart, is an expert on this topic and informed the members of Basi, the Federal Working Group for Safety and Health at Work, about this at their most recent meeting.
