Empowering Humans

EXO Berlin was founded to advance the development and real-world application of robotics for human assistance and human–robot collaboration. Returning for its 6th edition in 2027, the Forum brings together researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to exchange ideas, share expertise, and drive innovation in these fields.

Theme 2027: Hand

The 2027 theme centers on the human hand, highlighting interdisciplinary research and technological advances in robotics and assistive technologies, alongside developments in hand and upper-limb rehabilitation and functional enhancement to restore and enhance human capabilities.

Featured topics in key areas

Hand & upper-limb technologies

  • Hand exoskeletons, wearable robotics & assistive devices: Exoskeletons, soft exosuits, robotic gloves, and customized assistive devices.
  • Robotic rehabilitation systems: Robotic rehabilitation, including task-oriented training and clinical and home-based applications.
  • Sensing, biosignals & intelligent control: Biomechanical sensing, EMG and other biosignals, motion tracking, FES, and closed-loop control.
  • Neural interfaces & control: Neural decoding, brain–machine interaction, and intuitive control of hand and upper-limb function.

Rehabilitation & enhancement

  • Hand function & independence: Grasping, manipulation, fine motor skills, and activities of daily living
  • Motor recovery & rehabilitation: Recovery of hand and upper-limb function after neurological injury, trauma, surgery, and other conditions.
  • Functional enhancement & work performance: Hand strength, dexterity, endurance, and functional performance in daily life and occupational settings.
