We are dedicated to the entrepreneurs, businesses, and academics fueling the wearable robotics industry.
The Wearable Robotics Association (WearRA) is the only professional association dedicated to the entrepreneurs, businesses, and academics fueling the wearable robotics industry. WearRA provides a forum for the wearable robotics community to share ideas and collaborate in a way that expands and improves the ecosystem of technologies and participants.
Our Aims:
What problems can occupational exoskeletons address:
