Egzoszkielety to innowacyjne urządzenia, które wspierają pracowników budowlanych, zmniejszając obciążenia mięśniowo-szkieletowe oraz ryzyko urazów. Artykuł przedstawia przegląd dostępnych rozwiązań, badań nad ich skutecznością oraz przyszłych kierunków rozwoju tej technologii. Badania wykazały, że egzoszkielety mogą poprawiać ergonomię pracy, redukując wysiłek fizyczny i zmniejszając dolegliwości bólowe, zwłaszcza w dolnej części pleców oraz ramionach. Eksperymenty przeprowadzone zarówno w warunkach laboratoryjnych, jak i na terenach budowy potwierdzają ich pozytywny wpływ na zdrowie i wydajność pracowników. Jednocześnie zauważono pewne ograniczenia – niektóre egzoszkielety mogą powodować dyskomfort w klatce piersiowej lub zwiększać obciążenie poznawcze, co może wpływać na koncentrację i świadomość sytuacyjną.

Exoskeletons are innovative devices that support construction workers by reducing musculoskeletal strain and the risk of injuries. This article provides an overview of available solutions, research on their effectiveness, and future directions for the development of this technology. Studies have shown that exoskeletons can improve workplace ergonomics by reducing physical effort and alleviating pain, particularly in the lower back and shoulders. Experiments conducted in both laboratory settings and construction sites confirm their positive impact on workers’ health and productivity. However, some limitations have been noted – certain exoskeletons may cause chest discomfort or increase cognitive load, potentially affecting concentration and situational awareness.
