Exoskeletons for Education
​Teaching exoskeleton technology or related STEM fields greatly benefits from hands-on experiences. Do-it-yourself hardware that reveals its technical inner workings helps create engaging and memorable learning experiences while fostering practical understanding. The interaction with the human body creates broad interdisciplinary expertise.
​Wearable exoskeletons are a unique combination of robotics acting in symbiosis with the human body. ​This integration opens up a wide range of opportunities for learning and teaching STEM subjects, including programming, electronics, biomechanics, and anatomy.
​​
The multidisciplinary appeal of exoskeletons attracts students with varied backgrounds, interests, and talents, allowing them to explore different aspects that align with their educational objectives. By incorporating elements of science fiction, exoskeletons can captivate an entire classroom, sparking enthusiasm and imagination among students.

Example Courses and Projects
We use the EduExo Pro in the practical course “Haptic Control of an Arm Exoskeleton” for Mechanical Engineering students. This lab is held every week during the semester for several groups of students, each working with their own EduExo Pro. The EduExo Pro provides a great teaching platform and allows us to connect theoretical knowledge with practical experience. The students love it!
