Exoskeleton Setup and Takedown Task Complexity and Performance Data

29 participants completed setup and takedown procedures for four occupational exoskeletons, resulting in 397 observations. The dataset includes task times, success rates, and complexity metrics like step counts and usability problems, collected via hierarchical task analysis and heuristic assessments. Jessica Sanchez-Balandran authored this dataset, last updated on 2026-04-28.

Use Cases

• Predicting task completion time based on the number of procedural steps in exoskeleton setup.
• Analyzing the relationship between usability problems and task success rates for assembly and donning.
• Comparing the performance impact of task complexity (steps vs. part count) across different exoskeleton models.

Strengths

• Includes 397 participant-level regression observations, providing a substantial basis for analysis.
• Contains specific performance metrics: task times, success rates, and three complexity measures (step counts, part counts, usability problems).
• Results are statistically grounded, with the number of steps accounting for 66.9% of variance in completion times.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
