Abstract

Back-support exoskeletons have shown the potential to improve workplace ergonomics by reducing the risk of low-back injury. To support the rapidly expanding landscape and to correspondingly promote correct adoption, standard specifications for back-support exoskeletons are desirable. We propose a list of properties and discuss their relevance to industrial applications.
