About the Webinar:
Exoskeletons are a class of wearable technology that have potential to provide significant benefits to users, including increased strength or endurance, improved motor performance, and enhanced capability. Exoskeletons may be passive and provide structural support for the wearer, or active and generate motion using powered components. Enabling the benefits of an exoskeleton requires a good “fit” between the user and the system. In this talk, we will consider three characteristics of fit: (1) static, (2) dynamic, and (3) cognitive. Examples will be provided highlighting how these characteristics relate to exoskeletons.
