University of Cincinnati Students Think Aloud at Tokyo Tech

Discussing exoskeletons over Japanese bento

At the event, UC students and Tokyo Tech members shared their views on the highly technological and socially relevant topic, exoskeletons. Exoskeletons are machines worn on the body to enhance the physical abilities of the wearer. As such, they have potential for use in various fields, including manufacturing, medicine, and warfare. Attendees discussed the applications of exoskeletons, implications on society, and their own personal feelings about adopting the technology.

Having the UC students at Think Aloud! LUNCH contributed greatly to the international environment that Tokyo Tech strives to offer. Their participation provided a unique opportunity for exchange of opinions and insight into the cultures and social policies around the world . The students, many of whom were visiting Japan for the first time, greatly enjoyed the chance to meet Tokyo Tech's members and experience what the Institute has to offer.
