Abstract Exoskeletons help augment worker strength and may reduce the effects of physically demanding work; however, health benefits alone may not necessarily facilitate its adoption by organizations. Through a survey study with 40 construction workers who used an exoskeleton over multiple shifts, workers believed exoskeletons were usable and beneficial for prolonged overhead work. A subsequent systematic review suggests that quality and productivity impacts of exoskeleton use are dependent on task characteristics. |
