Many people think about the military or sci-fi movies when hearing about exoskeletons. Exoskeletons are indeed used in these situations, however we feel that the potential impact that these devices can have on the lives of (wheelchair bound) people and their loved ones is not talked about enough.
Exoskeletons pose an alternative to traditional mobility-oriented assistive technologies like crutches and wheelchairs. In recent years the use of exoskeleton technology in rehabilitation programs have shown its relevance.
Every year, we would like to boost awareness of what these robotic harnesses are able to do, now and in the future. And we envision doing that by creating a real buzz, together with other companies, teams and institutions around the world. Each participant can organise something fun and educational in their organisation, community or city to spread the word about the possibilities of and innovations in exoskeletons.
Project MARCH is a Dutch non-profit organisation, consisting of 25+ yearly alternating full-time working students linked to the Technical University of Delft. Each year, the student team develops and manufactures a new, improved exoskeleton for people with a spinal cord injury to enable them to stand up and walk again.
En Serio is an Amsterdam-based PR and content marketing agency that has helped many innovative companies and teams – like Project MARCH – for more than a decade. The agency is committed and passionate about driving awareness of the positive impact technology can have on people and the planet.
