WearRA

What it means to test a wearable robot often depends on the perspective of the tester.  Depending on individual background, testing may mean anything from functional engineering assessments of the robotics, to clinical assessments of the patient outcome, to physiological assessment of the performance of the wearer.  Ekso Bionics will discuss what it means to test a wearable robot across fields of able bodied and medical devices, how these fields relate, and where we see opportunities in the future. Lunch is included.
Speakers:
Kurt Amundson, Ph.D, Sr. Director, Ekso Health and Labs Katherine Strausser, Ph.D, Sr. Controls Engineer, Ekso Health and Labs
