The main goal is to raise awareness in companies about physical overloading in the workplace. In doing so, we teach them how to use smart sensors and exoskeletons to detect and address overload.
In addition, we want to increase companies’ knowledge about physical overloading and about prevention with wearable technology. We do this by actively involving them in the implementation of some cases.
We also provide advice on the design and development of preventive orthoses and exoskeletons.
In addition, we want to match workstations with their risks and with possible deployable technologies to reduce those risks. For this purpose, we are developing an evidence-based product selection tool. It will help companies to make the right technology choice.
We also want to involve students by integrating the project results and tools into lessons and projects and by organizing workshops.
