In this episode of the Exoskeletons and Wearable Robotics podcast, we have the opportunity to speak with someone who is both an expert in exoskeletons and physical movement, as well as the father of a child facing mobility challenges. What better way to do our very first episode on pediatric devices, and separating the myths from what is really available out there, and how it meets (or fails to meet) practical needs.
