Webinar: The Future of Exoskeletons

Presented By Dr Matthew Dickinson - Senior Lecturer, University of Central Lancashire and Shawn Byrd, Technical Manager, Tinius Olsen Testing Machine Company

About this event

The partnerships of academia, international standards and one of the worlds oldest testing machine manufacturers, brings you the future of exoskeletons!

For over a century the development of exoskeletons has been proposed.  But the accelerated advancement of this technology has been realized due to the fact of newer and more affordable motors and micro-controllers.

With these exciting developments, the dawn of a new age is truly among us.  The use of human augmentation where small robotic systems are fitted so that we can work through everyday life in a way not possible before.

Join our speakers from Tinius Olsen on 11 April for a free webinar exploring the innovative use of current and future composites in the development of exoskeleton technology and highlighting how important it is to have robust standards to work towards when making such fast paced advances.
