Description
Exoskeletons are an exciting technology that is continuing to evolve to meet the needs of industry. The automotive industry was an adopter of exoskeletons, and the experience of this industry has resulted in the creation of an Automotive Exoskeleton Group (AExG) that provides the opportunity for users to share both with peers and developers. The AExG is slowly expanding as new adopters of exoskeletons become more active. The group now includes aerospace and animal and alternative protein industries, allowing new users to learn and push the technology forward. This session will provide knowledge from both established and new adopters, providing attendees with a view of the current state of application and the questions that a company should ask if considering exoskeletons as a solution.
