How do you choose between collaborative and traditional industrial robots? What are the different methods to program a robot, and what resources are available for training? Different ways to program a robot and how to get a free certification with collaborative robots will be presented. **Interactive audience discussion period will follow the presentation.** |
| 1:30 p.m. - Exoskeletons to Support Industry 4.0 Workers Dr. Mark Schall - Associate Professor, Industrial Systems & Engineering Department, Auburn University Dr. Yadrianna Acosta-Sojo - Assistant Professor, Industrial Systems & Engineering Department, Auburn University >> Exoskeletons are assistive devices that can be worn to increase strength and endurance. Which exoskeletons may be best suited for small- and medium-sized manufacturing environments? Which tasks can be completed while wearing an exoskeleton? We will provide a brief introduction to exoskeletons. Following the presentation, attendees can gain hands-on experience exploring several low back and upper limb exoskeletons to assist with lifting and overhead work tasks. **Interactive audience discussion period will also follow the presentation.** |
