I share research & insights on biomechanics, exoskeletons & wearable tech. Vanderbilt University Professor. HeroWear Co-Founder & Chief Scientist.

🚨 Two of the best ways to cut through the myths and noise about workplace exoskeletons will be front and center at Modex next week:

1️⃣ Try them on.

A lot of the Hollywood-inspired assumptions and “what if” concerns disappear the moment you actually wear a real exoskeleton. With multiple vendors on site, it’s a unique chance to test different solutions side-by-side and feel the differences for yourself.

2️⃣ Learn from real users and real deployments.

Not demos. Not 30-second promo videos. Not pilots that fade out after a week.


Learn directly from leading exosuit implementation experts and companies that have achieved sustained use—and deployed exosuits at scale as standard equipment.

📍 One week from today, HeroWear's VP of Client Services will be co-presenting with the Director of Operations at Plymouth (protein distributor) on what real-world exosuit implementation looks like in warehousing, distribution and supply chain applications, including diving into topics like:

• How to build employee trust and engagement

• How to design 3-6 month pilot programs with clear ROI metrics

• How to monitor exo utilization and identify areas for improvement

• Why implementation determines success and long-term exo adoption


• How exosuits deliver measurable ROI from impacts on productivity, fatigue and injury rates

Whether you're new to #exoskeletons and #exosuits or have followed the tech for years, this is an update you won’t want to miss. See event details below 👇🏽
