Description
Exoskeleton trials on farm tasks contains data collected in support of a study investigating exposure to risk factors and usability experience of a commercially-available exoskeleton during agricultural work. Data were collected from six non-farmers and 15 farmers, and included self-reported demographics and directly-measured heart rate, electromyography, and body parts' accelerations and angular velocities. The dataset was published by the Government of Alberta and last updated on April 17, 2026.
Use Cases
Compare physiological strain based on directly-measured heart rate and electromyography data
Assess exoskeleton usability based on farmer-reported experience data
Analyze movement patterns based on body parts' accelerations and angular velocities
Evaluate demographic factors influencing exoskeleton adoption based on self-reported data
Strengths
Includes data from 21 participants (6 non-farmers and 15 farmers)
Combines self-reported demographics with directly-measured physiological and biomechanical data
Focuses on a specific, high-risk sector (agriculture) and a commercially-available intervention
Limitations
Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
