Are Exoskeletons Ready for Construction? A Deep Dive into Their Potential and Challenges
Exoskeletons have shown promise in boosting safety and reducing injuries in construction and heavy industries by enhancing workers’ strength and endurance. However, their adoption has met resistance due to concerns about compatibility, cost, and suitability for rugged job sites. In this article, Ali Golabchi, PhD, PMP, explores the complexities of introducing exoskeletons in these demanding fields, addressing issues like improper implementation, lack of tailored designs for construction, and cultural resistance among workers. By advocating for a structured, collaborative approach and ongoing worker feedback, Golabchi emphasizes that while exoskeletons hold great potential, thoughtful planning and real-world testing are essential for their success in construction.
