A Systematic Literature and Market Analysis for Wearable Exoskeleton

Öz

Exoskeleton systems are generally designed to have a structure suitable for human anatomy and are wearable structures that interact with people. They can be used to contribute to the basic functions of users such as walking, running, sitting, standing and carrying heavy loads, as well as in the rehabilitation and treatment process such as restoring the ability of the user's lower and/or upper limbs. Another area of use is to increase the strength of healthy limbs above normal. The primary goal is to increase performance and, in this sense, they have a wide range of uses. Designed exoskeleton structures make people's lives easier and provide individuals with a better quality of life in the areas where they are used. The aim of the study is to present academic studies and current products in the market in the field of wearable exoskeletons, to determine which class these products belong to, to determine which area the studies are focused on and to determine potential study areas for new research. Systematic literature analysis was used in the study and studies and products were analyzed according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. This study systematizes studies in the field of exoskeletons, determines their interrelationships, introduces basic applications for researchers who are new to this field and aims to create an interdisciplinary study area.

Giyilebilir Dış İskeletlere Yönelik Sistematik Bir Literatür ve Pazar Analizi

Öz

Dış iskelet sistemleri genel anlamda insan anatomisine uygun yapıya sahip olacak şekilde tasarlanmış, insanlarla etkileşim halinde çalışan giyilebilir yapılardır. Kullanıcıların yürüme, koşma, oturma, ayakta durma ve ağır yük taşıma gibi temel işlevlerine katkıda bulunmak için kullanılabileceği gibi, kullanıcının alt ve/veya üst uzuvlarının yeteneğinin geri kazanılması gibi rehabilitasyon ve tedavi sürecinde de kullanılabilir. Bir diğer kullanım alanı sağlıklı uzuvların gücünü normalin üzerine çıkarmak amacıyladır. Öncelikli amaç performans artırmak olup bu anlamda da geniş bir kullanım alanı bulmaktadır. Tasarlanan dış iskelet yapıları insanların hayatını kolaylaştırmakta ve kullanıldıkları alanlarda bireylere daha kaliteli bir yaşam sunmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, giyilebilir dış iskeletler alanında yapılan akademik çalışmaları ve pazardaki mevcut ürünleri ortaya koymak, bu ürünlerin hangi sınıfa ait olduğunu belirlemek, çalışmaların hangi alanda yoğunlaştığını saptamak ve yeni araştırmalar için potansiyel çalışma alanlarını belirlemektir. Çalışmada sistematik literatür analizi kullanılmış olup dahil etme ve hariç tutma kriterlerine göre çalışmalar ve ürünler analiz edilmiştir. Bu çalışma ile dış iskelet alanındaki çalışmaları analiz edilerek birbirleri arasındaki bağıntılar belirlenmiş, bu alana yeni giren araştırmacılar için temel uygulamaları tanıtılmış ve disiplinlerarası çalışma alanı oluşturulması hedeflenmiştir.
