We assessed a battery of tests on first time users during lifting: support moments provided, impact on muscle activity, user's discomfort and exertion. These highlighted the task specific nature of the exos.

To answer this, we assessed 2 exoskeletons (@Laevobv & Paexo @Ottobock_Exos) and 2 exosuits (@auxivo & Darwing) for simulated industrial tasks!

Back exos ( exoskeleton+exosuits) have been shown to be task and user specific. How then can industries identify the right exos for their tasks and users?
