You are cordially invited to join the 3rd International Symposium on Wearable Robotics in Pisa (Italy).
Researchers and innovators from all around the world will discuss novel approaches, challenges and potential solutions in technologies for wearable robots. The symposium will enclose presentations and discussions in various fields such as: supporting solutions for healthy ageing, advanced therapeutic treatments of neurological diseases, space applications or assistive technologies in the industry. Demonstrations and exhibitions of reference technologies in the field will also take place.
International speakers from academia, government, industry, medical centres and end users are encouraged to participate in this biannual event. WeRob provides an international forum for researchers and practitioners to report the latest innovations, discuss state-of-the-art techniques, and exchange ideas and advances in all aspects of wearable robotics.
Moreover, the symposium will be held in parallel with the 2018 International Conference on Neurorehabilitation (ICNR2018), which will bring together researchers and students from the fields of Clinical Rehabilitation, Applied Neurophysiology, and Biomedical Engineering to promote, feed and encourage this therapeutic global shift.
See you in Pisa!

Pisa is a city in the Tuscany region of Central Italy straddling the Arno just before it empties into the Ligurian Sea. It is the capital city of the Province of Pisa. Although Pisa is known worldwide for its leaning (the bell tower of the city's cathedral), the city of over 91,104 residents (around 200,000 with the metropolitan area) contains more than 20 other historic churches, several medieval palaces and various bridges across the Arno.
