In this work, we present an exhaustive assessment of the benefit provided by PAEXO, a novel passive exoskeleton for overhead work, and describe on-going field testing. Task performance: The exoskeleton should not degrade task performance or productivity. 2.2 Exoskeleton The exoskeleton evaluated in this work is PAEXO developed by Ottobock SE & Co. KGaA together with Volkswagen AG commercialized (Bornmann et al. [1]). [Extracted from the article]
