From Burden to Benefit: What Makes Exoskeletons Useful to Workers

Activity: Talk or presentation › Invited talk › science-to-public

Description

Workers are more likely to accept and adopt occupational exoskeletons if they perceive them as useful. But what counts as "useful" is not just about technical performance - it also depends on the specific work task, the work environment, and the individual using the device. This presentation explores how workers evaluate exoskeletons and how functional, situational, and personal factors shape their understanding of what makes a device truly useful.
