DearColleagues,

With great pleasure we would like to welcome you to the 2nd International

SymposiumonWearableRobotics(WeRob2016),whichistobeheldin'LaGranjadeSanIldefonso', Segovia (Spain) from October 18th until 21st, 2016. After the success ofWeRob2014 (Baiona, Spain), WeRob2016 gathers researchers and innovators from allaround theworld todiscussnovel approaches, challenges andpotential solutions in thefieldofwearablerobotics.

TheWeRob2016programincludesoralandposterpresentationsanddiscussions

in various fields such as: supporting solutions for healthy ageing, advanced therapeutictreatments of neurological diseases, space applications or assistive technologies in theindustry.Demonstrations and exhibitions of reference technologies in the fieldwill alsotakeplace,withaspecialfocusonresearchprototypes.

ThescientificprogramwillstartonOctober18thwithmorethan10SpecialSessioncovering all areas of research in this field and addressing key challenges related tostandardisation, benchmarking, regulatory and funding aspects. This program incomplemented by Plenary talks by world-class experts in the field and by plenarydemonstrations of these technologies.We really hope that youwill be able of attendingmany of these exciting presentations and have stimulating discussions with yourcolleagues.

Wewouldliketothankallthemembersofthesteeringcommittee,theorganizingcommitteeandthescientificprogramcommittee.Weareespeciallygratefultoallauthors,reviewers and sponsors for their effort and valuable support to make WeRob 2016 areality.

Finally, note thatWeRob2016Proceedingswill be publishedby Springer.Digital

copies can be downloaded (as of October, 16th for 1month) from the Springerwebsitewithyourpersonalcode(seeinstructionsinpage6).

Onceagain,welcometoWeRob2016!

AQUEDUCT OF SEGOVIA: Located in Azoguejo Square, this unique and magnificent Romanconstructionfromthe2ndcenturywasaimedtocarrythewaterfromthemountainstothecity.It is built with huge blocks of granite stone from Guadarrama Mountains, and there is noconcrete or mortar between the stones. Its equilibrium is maintained by using an ingeniousweightbalance.Waterranonthechannelat its top,andcrossedthecityundergrounduntil itreached the Alcázar. Its original total length, from its origin in the Sierra de GuadarramaMountains, is 14.965 m. Its highest point is 29 meters and total number of arches of theconstruction is 166. This place is a protected National Monument since 1884 and WorldHeritageMonumentsince1985.CASADELOSPICOS:Thisancientpalacewasbuiltinthe15thcenturydecoratedwithdiamondpointsandwithaRenaissancestyle.
