Exoskeletons and exosuits (collectively called “EXOs” in this work) have substantial potential to protect workers and to increase worker productivity by reducing exertion and fatigue. Despite these potential benefits, EXOs are uncommon in the construction industry. We present preliminary results from a pilot study investigating the knowledge gaps and barriers to EXO adoption. The overall objective of this work is to establish a foundational understanding of how EXOs can transform the future of construction trade work. The described work focuses on industry collaboration and field-based kinematic evaluation of four subjects performing a real-world construction task, namely dumping a gondola of refuse into a bin. Our preliminary findings build a foundation of understanding of EXO-enabled construction tasks. This will foster EXO adoption and yield benefits including but not limited to improving the productivity of construction trades, reducing the risks of WMSDs and injuries of trade workers, broadening the workforce participation in construction trades, and extending the career life expectancy of existing trade workers.","PeriodicalId":179995,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1st Future of Construction Workshop at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2022)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129702521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
