In this episode, Bobby from Exoskeleton Report and Tom from the Wearable Robotics Association delve into the intricacies of the Exoskeleton Report Catalog, a comprehensive database of over 200 commercialized exoskeletons. They discuss how the catalog came to life, initially inspired by a 10-year-old PowerPoint presentation by Tom, and how it has evolved into an invaluable resource for both producers and end-users. Bobby explains the various categories and filters that allow users to explore exoskeletons based on industry applications (medical, military, industrial, and recreational) and technical specifications (powered, passive, hybrid, and more). The catalog offers a bird’s-eye view of the exoskeleton industry while providing tools to narrow down searches based on specific criteria such as body part or function.
The episode emphasizes the importance of organizing exoskeletons in ways that make it easier for potential buyers and users to navigate this growing field. Bobby also highlights that the catalog focuses on commercial devices rather than research prototypes, ensuring that users are viewing practical, market-ready solutions. As the conversation unfolds, they discuss the significant progress of exoskeleton technology, its real-world applications, and the global impact it’s having. This episode offers a deep dive into the future of wearable robotics, with an open invitation for listeners to explore the catalog and engage with the exoskeleton community.
