Exoskeletons for all: The interplay between exoskeletons, inclusion, gender, and intersectionality [PDF]
Paladyn, Journal of Behavioral Robotics, 2020 AbstractIn this article, we investigate the relation between gender and exoskeleton development through the lens of intersectionality theory. Exoskeleton users come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and genders. However, it is often the case that wearable robot engineers do not develop such devices primarily on the premise that the product should fit

Exoskeletons: A challenge for development
Wearable Technologies, 2023 Abstract The development of exoskeletons is currently a lengthy process full of challenges. We are proposing a framework to accelerate the process and make the resulting exoskeletons more user-centered. The needed accomplishments in science are described in an effort to lay the foundation for future research projects.
