SUMMARY:BrIAS Sustainable Robotics Seminar 2
DESCRIPTION:1. Dr. Shirley Elprama\, Post-Doc\, SMIT – VUB\n\n\n\nTitle: “Acceptance of Occupational Exoskeletons”\n\n\n\nShirley Elprama will talk about her PhD research on the acceptance of occupational exoskeletons. She will explain which factors play a role in the acceptance of occupational skeletons and what is further needed to advance the adoptions of exoskeletons at work. \n\n\n\n2. Prof. Dr. Kevin De Pauw\, MFYS – VUB\n\n\n\nTitle: “Occupational exoskeletons: The Science into Practice”\n\n\n\nAt the VUB\, numerous projects have concentrated on refining the mechatronics of occupational exoskeletons. These devices underwent rigorous validation via testbenches\, and evaluations in both controlled laboratory environments and real-world settings. While significant improvements have been made in design advancements\, optimizing the human-robot interaction remains a critical area for enhancement. A pivotal determinant impacting widespread adoption is the user’s comfort. To improve the human-robot interaction\, our focus encompasses various facets. We prioritize human-in-the-loop optimization strategies aimed at tailoring robotic control and the development of multisensory fusion systems integrated into soft\, adaptable patches. Notably\, the evaluation of occupational exoskeletons has predominantly involved male subjects. In BRIAS\, we are placing emphasis on understanding the response of female users to the utilization of these exoskeletons. The insights gained from this study could offer information essential for further refining exoskeleton designs specifically tailored for female workers in medical and industrial companies. \n\n\n\n3. Ir. Ing. Tom Turcksin\, Flanders Make / AugmentX / Brubotics / MECH – VUB\n\n\n\nTitle: “Assessment of Exoskeletons – Beyond the state of the art”\n\n\n\nThe AugmentX research lab is a Flanders Make lab located at VUB and exploited by VUB-Brubotics. Besides supporting many research projects with advanced measurement campaigns or through the supply of the required infrastructure and know-how\, AugmentX peruses its own research mission. Measuring how exoskeletons alleviate work and offering this capability in a mobile package to both industry and academics. In this presentation\, we go over the state of the art\, the existing pitfalls and issues. We will demonstrate how AugmentX tackles the problem and how we are effectively expanding the capabilities in this domain. Then\, we will present the current research goals and which technical barriers we aim to break in the near future. AugmentX will also bring a subset of our 20 exos and some weights for try-outs. \n\n\n\nFor the teams link\, or in-person participation\, registration is required. Coffee and tea will be served. \n\n\n\nThis Seminar will also be livestreamed on our Youtube channel @BrIAStalks
