About the Event

The main goal of the Wearable Robotics and Exoskeletons Conference, which will take place Online on the 16/2/2022 at 14:00 CET, is to bring together wearable robotics professionals and entrepreneurs from industry, medical/rehab academic scientists, researchers to share their experiences and research results on all aspects of Exoskeletons and Wearable Robotics.

Wearable Robotics and Exoskeletons online Conference provides a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of Exoskeletons and Wearable Robotics.

Noel Keijsers. Senior researcher at the Sint Maartenskliniek. Professor clinical motor control at the Donders center for cognition of the Radboud University

His field of expertise can be summarized as experimental research on human motor control and biomechanics in patients with motor disabilities. He has worked with a large variety of patient types such as stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinson’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, amputees, and orthopedic patients. Most of his research has an applied clinical character and is conducted in close collaboration with medical specialists such as rehabilitation specialist, orthopedic surgeons and neurologists. Many of his projects focus on gaining knowledge into the mechanism of adaptation and compensation after neurological adaptation and applying this knowledge to a clinical setting. Another topic is evaluation and implementation of new interventions and new devices such as Brain computer interface in rehabilitation, robotic gait trainer and wearable robotic exoskeletons.

Topic: Wearable robotics in patients with neurological disorders.

Many people with neurological disorders (e.g. stroke, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy) suffer from balance and gait impairments. In the (sub)acute phase, most training is focused on regaining gait capacity. Despite all the effort regularly put in regaining gait capacity by training and other treatment (e.g. surgery), the gait and standing capacity of many people with neurological disorders remains limited. For performing activities of daily living, they often require the use of an assistive device. Recently, robotic devices such as lower-extremity wearable exoskeletons and powered ankle-foot orthoses have undergone enormous progress in design and control. Nevertheless, wearable exoskeleton use in daily life is still very limited. The presentation will focus on requirements for wearable exoskeletons from a patient perspective.

Niels Jeurgen. Founder of Humanix

Niels Jeurgen is the founder of Humanix who believes the world needs a new vision on performance when it coms to unpowered and hybrid wearables and humanoids. Niels is a designer and inventor with a degree in mechanical engineering and lives in Hasselt, Belgium. He specializes in multi DOF spring balancing systems that enable to support the full arm independent of poses and torso position, and developed a servo spring mechanism able to store and redirect dynamic brake energy at any given joint.
With these developments he believes the world is able to move away from battery driven research. Where the current limitations on power consumption and motion freedom make place for a fit for purpose user friendly and affordable development approach.
Humanix is driven by technology, innovation and passion.

Topic: Multi DOF interdepending spring balance mechanisms and servo springs will enable the future of wearables

Markus Rockenschaub. CEO of AeroVision Drone Support Gmbh; Founder of exxowear human robotics; CEO of Media Agency bluemedia e.U.

Markus Rockenschaub has impressive experience in the field of Media Marketing, as he start in 2008 as a Media Creator and from 2015 till now become a CEO of the Media Agency bluemedia e.U:
since 2017 he is Exo & Robot-Enthusiast. hence from 2019 to present he is acting as a CEO of AEROVISION Drone Support Gmbh (Drone Company) and sins 2020 - now Founder of the brand exxowear human robotics with a partner who is in Exos since 2012 Distributor for LAEVO, HeroWear APEX, COMAU Mate XT, hTRIUS Bionic Back, Crimson Dynamics

Topic: Implementation of exoskeletons - How it can be done

Daniele Ramirez. Founder and COO of AGADE

Daniele Ramirez has been working on exoskeletons since his Master Thesis in 2018 at Politecnico di Milano. Daniele got graduated in MSc Mechanical Engineer and at the honours programme of Alta Scuola Politecnica the same year. Since then, he has been working as COO and engineer at AGADE (Anti-Gravity Active Device for Exoskeleton), thanks to his technical and entrepreneurial skills. AGADE aims at democratizing the technology of exoskeletons, bringing to market the first high-tech, smart, and affordable industrial active exoskeleton for logistics and manufacturing tasks.

Topic: From passive to active, the paradigm shift in industrial exoskeleton

Dr. Marcel Reese. CEO of Holotron

Dr. Marcel Reese is a prize-winning physicist with his diploma (2005) and doctorate (2010) from the University of Göttingen and the Max-Planck-Institute for Biophysical Chemistry. He was a postdoctoral fellow and associate at MIT (2010-2015). Since 2015 he is working exclusively on the Holotron for life-like VR and remote operation of humanoid robots. In 2020 he and his team finished the world’s first ever system for walking in VR with force and balance feedback.
