Presenter(s): Nicholas Roome, Blake Arnsdorff, Chris Reid, Hongwei Hsaio, Bill MarrasDescription: 2018 saw the return of ErgoX in a new symposium format dedicated to the user centered design of new disruptive technology…in this case exoskeletons. Lessons learned from attendees of the symposium showed the need for further understanding of how to properly design, assess, utilize, integrate, and sustain these devices in not only the industrial workplace, but also medical rehabilitation, and military Warfighter ones too. 2019’s exoskeleton symposium will build on those lessons learned by again tapping into the knowledge gaps and findings of exoskeleton standards development, developer intrigue, user feedback, and research methods for cognitive and physical symbiosis between humans and their exoskeletons. This HFES webinar will feature interviewers from the Human Factors Podcast, Nicholas Roome and Blake Arnsdorff along with an interview panel of exoskeleton symposium Chair, Chris Reid (The Boeing Company), and Co-Chairs, Hongwei Hsiao (NIOSH), Don Peterson (Northern Illinois University/ASTM F48), and Bill Marras (The Ohio State University).Original air date: April 16, 2019Support us on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/humanfactorscastFollow us on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/company/humanfactorscastFollow us on Twitter:http://www.twitter.com/HFactorsPodcastFollow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/HumanFactorsCastFollow us on Soundcloud:https://www.soundcloud.com/HumanFactorsCastFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/HumanFactorsCastOur official website:https://www.humanfactorscast.comFollow Nick:https://www.twitter.com/Nick_RoomeFollow Blake:https://www.twitter.com/DontPanicUXVideo/photo editing by Offlineable:https://www.youtube.com/user/offlineableJoin us on Slack:https://bit.ly/2KDael9Take a deeper look into the human element in our ever changing digital world.
