We've hit capacity for this event! We'll have a recording of the event posted to our YouTube afterward, and hope to hold similar events in the future.

Should we fear where robotics is headed? Or be in awe of what it might accomplish?

To help answer this, Michigan Robotics is starting a series called "The Testing Lab", where we put to the test just what the robots of today can achieve. We show the general public (you!) how far robotics has come, where it's going, and how far it has to go.

Join us for this first installment on exoskeletons, where we'll discover how powered exoskeletons might raise the level of human achievement, and where a collegiate high jumper takes on an engineering student with an exoskeleton in a jump contest.

The evening includes:
• a film premiere of the jumping competition
• an exoskeleton demo & chance to try on an exoskeleton yourself
• an expert panel on the science and engineering behind exos
• dinner and mingling with exoskeleton experts
• Robotics swag giveaways & more!

This will take place in Ford Motor Company Robotics Building, the new national centerpiece in robotics research, learning, and collaboration that's right here on North Campus.
