This training activity will provide an introduction to occupational exoskeletons aiming at assisting workers in physically demanding jobs. The training activity will focus on upper-limb and lumbar occupational exoskeletons and their potential benefit in supporting workers in shipyard’s activities.
Topic: Overview of wearable robotics technologies with a particular focus on occupational exoskeletons and their application in several use-case scenarios. The theoretical part will be integrated with physical demonstrations.
Agenda:
- Day 1: 9:30 – 12:30 (coffee break included)
- Day 2: 9:30 -12:00 (coffee break included)
Organisers: Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna
Contact: lorenzo.grazi@santannapisa.it
Language: Italian/English
Audience: Maritime students, shipyards operators and owners, interested people

The trainer
Lorenzo graduated in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Pisa and received his Ph.D. degree in Biorobotics from the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna with a dissertation on the control and assessment of occupational exoskeletons. Since May 2020, Lorenzo is a post-doctoral fellow in the Wearable Robotics Lab of Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, where he is involved in the research activities about occupational exoskeletons. Lorenzo is author and co-author of several publications, mainly focusing on wearable robotics for occupational applications.
