Members from the Ergonomics and Computational Human Operations (ECHO) lab, the Biomechanics, Ergonomics, Safety and Training (BEST) lab, and members of the HFES student organization at Clemson University participated in a specialized exoskeleton showcase* at the South Carolina Manufacturing Conference. The showcase consisted of five industry-focused exoskeleton companies demoing their devices for several manufacturing and industrial companies in South Carolina. This event presented a unique opportunity for industry partners to have hands-on experience with devices that could impact worker health and performance. Furthermore, this event brought together industry partners, exoskeleton companies, and the expertise of the BEST and ECHO labs to fortify the collaborative effort needed to propel the promising future of exoskeleton devices forward.

*The exoskeleton showcase was sponsored by the South Carolina Research Authority.
