They’re coming! The breakout robots for 2014, Exoskeletons, are here in force 

with new looks, new potential and a slew of new jobs to do.

The ad execs for Red Bull undoubtedly have noticed the arrival of exoskeletons and undoubtedly are already thinking about how to parley their global x-brand into a hot, next-newest TV sensation. Maybe they’ll call it EXOthrill. Who knows? Wondering what’s next is all part of the mind-blowing future of this fantastic new technology.

Get the inside track on where Exo is bound from a pioneer who has been there and seen it taking shape. Spend some time with Ekso Bionics’ Russ Angold as he explains it all. Join us at the Robotics half-day conference session at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2015.

Join Russ in his Session 2 of a three-part conference session devoted to consumer robotics. Register for the full half day and be automatically entered to win a FURo-i Home robot from Future Robot.

What: Consumer Robotics Half-day Session 9AM-12:30PM

When: January 8, 2015

Where: Venetian, Level 1, Casanova 602

Take a moment to join us for an unforgettable look at the here-and-now and future of wearable robotics.
