Opening AugmentX Research lab

We are happy to announce the official opening of the Flanders Make AugmentX Research lab! We welcome you on Thursday 11 January 2024 for an inspiring afternoon and lab visit.

What is AugmentX?

Welcome to AugmentX, where we're dedicated to exploring cutting-edge technologies that enhance human capabilities, like exoskeletons and collaborative robots. Our lab is equipped with state-of-the-art tools such as the Vicon motion capture system (MOCAP), force plates, electromyographic measurement devices, IMU sensors, and more.

But we don't stop at research and measurement. We also offer workshops and related services focused on exoskeletons and collaborative robots. Our aim is to drive the advancement of these technologies, ultimately benefiting humanity by improving physical support and assistance.

Come step into the AugmentX lab and join us in shaping the future of human augmentation through innovation and collaboration.
