Standard Test Method for Measuring Exoskeleton Cognitive Fit, Perceived Safety, and Acceptance

Importancia y uso:

5.1 Exoskeletons are being used in the industrial/occupational sector to enhance the safety and effectiveness of the user to perform tasks as well as in the medical sector to provide rehabilitation or mobility, or both, to people. This test method is primarily intended for use in the occupational sector, but readers may find all or parts useful in other sectors, such as medical or military.

5.2 The test results of the CSA will indicate how well the exoskeleton is able to support the user within the specified types of environments, confinements, and terrains as well as if the exoskeleton is providing the user with a feeling of safety. Data provided by the CSA can inform the tester as to the applicability of the exoskeleton to a particular task and help lead potential purchasers to a decision whether the exoskeleton design is a suitable candidate for the worker. The CSA can also inform exoskeleton designers about a user’s perceptions of the exoskeleton’s acceptability, usefulness, and impact on safety when an exoskeleton is applied to execution of a series of tasks.
