An industrial exoskeleton user acceptance framework based on a literature review of empirical studies

Shirley A. Elprama et al.

Summary: Studying the acceptance of exoskeletons in industry and identifying the factors influencing their use is crucial for improving the quality of exoskeletons and accelerating their adoption. The framework proposed in this paper can be utilized in the design, development, and evaluation phases, as well as for studying ongoing introduction at work and policy decisions related to implementing exoskeletons.

Effects of industrial back-support exoskeletons on body loading and user experience: an updated systematic review

Tjasa Kermavnar et al.

Summary: This study presents an updated systematic review of recent studies on industrial back-support exoskeletons, revealing their efficiency in reducing back-load and pointing out the need for further research in real work situations. The results indicate improvements in user endurance during lifting and static bending tasks, but a decline in performance during tasks requiring increased agility. Some side effects, such as increased abdominal/lower-limb muscle activity and changes in joint angles, were observed. Future field studies involving industrial workers are recommended to provide more comprehensive insights.

Assistive devices for manual materials handling in warehouses: a systematic literature review

Christoph H. Glock et al.

Summary: This paper evaluates how technical assistive devices for manual materials handling were analysed in the literature in a warehousing context, identifying works that discuss the economic and/or human factors impact of such devices. The evaluation shows which types of assistive devices were analyzed in the past and from which perspectives they were examined. Some works focused on operator well-being or efficiency, while others analyzed the devices' performance in terms of both dimensions.

Towards a Functional Performance Validation Standard for Industrial Low-Back Exoskeletons: State of the Art Review

Mattia Pesenti et al.

Summary: Research interest in exoskeletons is growing, but lacking standards for evaluation limit industrial adoption; exoskeletons can reduce productivity loss from work-related injuries, which researchers are beginning to address; the article provides a review of performance evaluation for low-back exoskeletons, highlighting the need for standardized criteria.

Comparison of Subjective Responses of Low Back Pain Patients and Asymptomatic Controls to Use of Spinal Exoskeleton during Simple Load Lifting Tasks: A Pilot Study

Ziga Kozinc et al.

Summary: LBP patients showed similar or slightly more positive responses to using the spinal exoskeleton compared to asymptomatic individuals, with higher willingness to use the device daily and giving the device a higher overall grade. This suggests that individuals with current LBP may benefit more from spinal exoskeleton use for simple lifting tasks.

Qualitative Research in HRI: A Review and Taxonomy

Louise Veling et al.

Summary: The field of human-robot interaction (HRI) is still in the process of negotiation in terms of approaches and methodologies. This review of 73 papers using qualitative methods in HRI literature reveals a widespread use of qualitative methods, but with varying approaches to reporting and rigor. The paper also introduces a taxonomy categorizing qualitative research in HRI by study type and specific qualitative method used.

Evaluating the Use of Smartwatches for Learning Purposes through the Integration of the Technology Acceptance Model and Task-Technology Fit

Mostafa Al-Emran

Summary: This research developed a hybrid theoretical model to explore students' behavioral intention to adopt smartwatches for learning activities, integrating different theoretical models and conducting empirical research among university students. The results showed that individual-technology fit and task-technology fit positively impact the perceived usefulness of smartwatches, while availability and mobility have a positive influence on ease of use for instructional activities.

The influence of using exoskeletons during occupational tasks on acute physical stress and strain compared to no exoskeleton - A systematic review and meta-analysis

Mona Baer et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effects of using an exoskeleton during occupational tasks on physical stress and strain, showing that using an exoskeleton can reduce acute physical stress and strain in the exoskeleton's target area. However, the impact on workers' health is still uncertain due to lack of long-term evaluations under real working conditions.

Exoskeletons in the Supermarket: Influences of Comfort, Strain Relief and Task-Technology Fit on Retail Workers' Post-Trial Intention to Use

Sandra Maria Siedl et al.

Summary: Many supermarket employees suffering from musculoskeletal disorders could benefit from exoskeletons, with the willingness to use them depending on perceived comfort and task-technology fit. Soft exoskeletons were preferred over rigid ones.

Towards a Better Understanding of Social Acceptability

Alarith Uhde et al.

Summary: Social contexts are crucial in understanding technology acceptance and use, but current descriptive approaches in HCI are inadequate. Traditional models like the Technology Acceptance Model are too rigid, while Goffman's dramaturgical model overlooks the material elements like technology. A new approach based on Social Practice Theory is proposed to address social acceptability problems in different situations.

Why Hypothesis Testers Should Spend Less Time Testing Hypotheses

Anne M. Scheel et al.

Summary: Before testing hypotheses, researchers should focus on developing concepts, establishing valid measures, identifying causal relationships and functional forms, as well as determining boundary conditions and auxiliary assumptions. Providing these inputs should be recognized as a crucial goal.

Passive Trunk Exoskeleton Acceptability and Effects on Self-efficacy in Employees with Low-Back Pain: A Mixed Method Approach

S. J. Baltrusch et al.

Summary: The study assessed the self-efficacy of employees with low-back pain when using a passive trunk exoskeleton, and found that self-efficacy significantly increased by 7%. Employees acknowledged the flexibility of the exoskeleton and expressed willingness to wear it when suffering from low-back pain, potentially reducing the risk of low-back pain.

Short-Term Effects of a Passive Spinal Exoskeleton on Functional Performance, Discomfort and User Satisfaction in Patients with Low Back Pain

Ziga Kozinc et al.

Summary: The SPEXOR exoskeleton showed positive effects on performance and local discomfort during prolonged static forward bending, with minor reductions in sit-stand and ladder climbing tasks. Discomfort associated with the exoskeleton was generally low to moderate, except for the 6-min walk test due to the weight of the device and obstruction of upper limb movement. General impressions were mostly positive, with good adjustability, low interference with movement, and moderate support reported by participants.
