ABOUT THE SESSION

WHAT IF Phoenix became the epicenter of exoskeleton design and production?

Dr. Joe Hitt is a recognized national expert in wearable robotic systems. His company, GoX Labs, is developing and testing new exoskeleton technology in residence at WearTech Applied Research Center to improve worker wellness, reduce workplace injuries and improve productivity, efficiency and quality.
