New episode is out!
Episode 24: Helping Without Hindering — Dr. Michael Goldfarb (Vanderbilt University) 

We talk powered prosthetics, exoskeleton design, and why the best assistance often means helping without fighting the user—including passive design, safety risks like swing-phase timing, and what it takes for wearable robots to work in real-world scenarios.

New on Exoskeleton Report: a Q&A with Lolbis Engineering, a Grade 12 student at Centennial High School, developing the ARX (Augmentative Research Exoskeleton) concept.

Lucas breaks down:
• Why he chose pneumatic cylinders over servos (budget + force)
• His goal of EMG-based control
• The realities of building with limited tools/resources—and how mentorship and classmates helped
• Longer-term ideas, including a thermal-camera AR overlay

New podcast episode is live! 🎧

In Episode 23 of the Exoskeletons & Wearable Robotics podcast, we talk with Bionic Power’s CEO, Gualtiero, and Director of Operations / Industrial Designer, Rob Nathan, about their journey from military energy-harvesting exoskeletons to pediatric gait assistance for children with crouch gait and cerebral palsy.

We cover how the technology has evolved, real-world stories like Catalina's transition from a wheelchair to walking and dancing, and why early mobility interventions can change a child’s entire trajectory.

Watch the episode on YouTube, or listen to it on all major auto platforms. Summary available on the Exoskeleton Report website.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDoksEYHGbA&t=8s A glimpse of WearRAcon Europe 2025 @ A+A Düsseldorf. Mark Harris, HeroWear co-founder and CEO, lays out steps for the exoskeleton industry to help speed adoption and mainstream exo technology. His presentation and call to action were an awesome way to end the conference!

Is it time to start treating occupational tech as an established and proven solution? We are almost there argues Mark, but to reach the finish line together, the community should: (1) double down on large-scale, real-world evidence (often via manufacturer–client collaborations rather than slow RCTs), (2) measure ROI transparently and conservatively to avoid overpromising, and (3) secure and share more named case studies to build trust and accelerate large-scale adoption.
