Notable facts about HAL-ML08, its manufacturer and this type of robot
In a 2019 discussion paper, EU-OSHA wrote that the long-term health effects of exoskeletons were still uncertain. The paper also discusses that when designing workplaces the hierarchy of prevention is leading, rather than relying on exoskeletons for an ergonomic work environment.
Source: EU-OSHA, The impact of using exoskeletons on occupational safety and health (2019, discussion paper)ISO 13482:2014 is a safety standard for personal care robots (mobile servant, physical assistant, person carrier); the ISO page states that a revision is expected. Which standards or rules apply to a particular exoskeleton depends on the model and its intended use: ask the provider for conformity information.
