EUROSHNET is an international network of occupational safety and health experts involved in standardization, testing and certification
It was created against the backdrop of growing internationalization of standardization on the one hand and diminishing resources of the OSH lobby on the other. The network is intended to facilitate contact between OSH experts, to promote discussion of issues of common interest, and to disseminate information relevant to occupational safety and health.
7th EUROSHNET Conference
This is the 7th edition of the EUROSHNET Conference: It is an excellent opportunity to discuss the opportunities and risks related to the use of AI at the workplace. AI is becoming more and more important in companies.
TECNALIA´s participation
- Joseph McIntyre, director of the Medical Robotics Area will participate in this conferencia with a presentation titled “Realizing the Promise of Exoskeletons: Research Efforts to Increase the Efficacy and Acceptance through AI-Enabled Wearable Robots”. He directs TECNALIA's efforts to develop human-centric robotic technologies for worker protection and medical applications.
Exoskeletons have been put forward as a means to protect workers in labour-intensive industries. New lines of research aim to create AI-driven exoskeletons that recognize user intent and adapt accordingly, with the hopes of increasing acceptance and uptake of exoskeletons in the workspace.
