But being an engineer and making
things work, innovate, and think differently is what makes us push ourselves.
Our influence comes from the very fundamental fact that there are not so
many women engineers in the industry.
As IEEE Women in Engineering and
being part of an IEEE project team, we
try to give every day everything we've
got and apply theory into practice in
our technical field of study to achieve
innovation. Self-discipline, goals, and
consistency are key factors to achieve
and complete the milestones that we set
every week, and step by step we work

among men, for a common goal: to
complete the project and advance technology for humanity.
R8T: What's next for the Hermes Team?
After the first prototype, the exoskeleton will compete at Cybathlon 2020.
The exoskeleton will be tested at the
premises of our sponsor, Helexpo,
Thessaloniki, to train our user pilot and
see in action how the exoskeleton
behaves. After that, many scenarios
have been made. In our everyday life,
each individual has a plan for personal
and professional development. Some

will pursue a master's degree in Europe;
others have a dream to build a start-up.
The main concept stays the same. We
build an applicable device that can
improve other people's lives. This is our
IEEE dream, and we intend to keep it
in our hearts. The Hermes exoskeleton will always be the beacon that
reminds us who we are and what we
do. Apparently, the new breed of engineers will take over the building of
Mark II, and new features will advance
technological innovation for the betterment of humanity.
