Pilot Test to Evaluate Ergonomic Risk of Industrial Exoskeleton with Semi-autonomous Method that Relies on AzKCLI and the Equivalent Weight / Di Natali, C.; Leggieri, S.; Fanti, V.; Forgione, C.; Coruzzolo, A. M.; Lolli, F.; Caldwell, D. G.. - 36 SPAR:(2025), pp. 136-142. ( 16th European Robotics Forum, ERF 2025 Stuttgart, Germany March 25th-27th, 2025) [10.1007/978-3-031-89471-8_21].
Abstract:
Work-related musculoskeletal (MSD) disorders significantly impact industrial productivity and society, particularly in the construction sector. Industrial Exoskeletons can support workers and reduce ergonomic risk. This paper proposes a semi-automatic NIOSH Composite Lifting Index calculation that combines AzKCLI and Equivalent Weight. Results analysis showed that using an exoskeleton during manual material handling can reduce the ergonomic risk by 34% when combining benefits in the required posture and effort.
