Occupational exoskeletons for assisting workers

This training is part of a series of courses offered by Mari4_YARD, an EU funded project that leverages the potential of Internet of Things (IoT), mobile and ubiquitous ICT tools, and robotics to develop user-centric solutions for flexible and modular manufacturing and thus implement a novel connected shipyard. 

This training activity will provide an introduction to occupational exoskeletons aiming at assisting workers in physically demanding jobs. The training activity will focus on upper-limb and lumbar occupational exoskeletons and their potential benefit in supporting workers in shipyard’s activities.

Topic: Overview of wearable robotics technologies with a particular focus on occupational exoskeletons and their application in several use-case scenarios. The theoretical part will be integrated with physical demonstrations.

Note that the training is synchronous, and participants can join both online and on-site.
