    F3523 Standard Test Method for Exoskeleton Use: Confined Space: Horizontal Movement
  • Descrição: 5.1 Exoskeletons are being used in the industrial, military, response, medical, and recreational sectors to enhance safety and effectiveness of the user to perform tasks. Confined spaces exist in many of these areas, as shown in Fig. 1, requiring people to fit through small spaces and this is potentially even more difficult while wearing an exoskeleton. For example, in the automobile manufacturing industry, workers wearing exoskeletons are required to fit into a confined automobile door opening while carrying tools to attach components to the car body. In emergency response operations, exoskeletons are used to enhance the safety and effectiveness of emergency responders operating in hazardous and confined space environments for search and rescue of victims. The testing results of exoskeletons shall describe, in a statistically significant way, how reliably the exoskeleton is able to support tasks within the specified types of environments, confinements, and terrains, and thus provide sufficiently high levels of confidence to determine the applicability of the exoskeleton. 5.2 This test method addresses exoskeleton safety and performance requirements expressed by emergency responders, military, manufacturing, or other organizations requesting this test. The safety and performance data captured within this test method are indicative of the test exoskeleton’s and the exoskeleton user’s (see 9.6.6) capabilities. The safety and performance data from these tests are essential to guiding the procurement and deployment decisions of exoskeleton purchasers and users. 5.3 A standard artifact is specified to be easily fabricated. This facilitates evaluation by exoskeleton developers, manufacturers, and users, and to provide replication of confined space: horizontal movement tests across the exoskeleton sectors. The artifact can also be used to support training (see Practice F3444/F3444M) and to establish proficiency of exoskeleton users, as well as provide manufacturers with information about the minimum confined space that is feasible for their exoskeleton(s) with user. 5.4 Although the test method was developed for the sectors listed in 5.1, it may be applicable to other operational domains.
