Exoskeleton Setup and Takedown Task Performance Data

A study of 29 participants completing setup and takedown tasks for four occupational exoskeletons, resulting in 397 observations. Jessica Sanchez-Balandran authored this dataset, which was last updated on April 28, 2026. It contains regression model summaries analyzing the impact of task complexity on completion time and success.

Use Cases

• Modeling task completion time based on the number of procedural steps and usability problems mentioned in the study.
• Analyzing failure rates between assembly, donning, doffing, and disassembly tasks described in the experiment.
• Investigating the relationship between part count and performance, as measured in the hierarchical task analysis.
• Identifying primary predictors of setup procedure performance from the participant-level regression analyses.

Strengths

• Includes 397 observations from a controlled experiment with 29 participants.
• Regression results are quantified, e.g., number of steps accounted for 66.9% of variance in completion times.
• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (5.5 KB), indicating it likely contains summary statistics rather than raw observational data.
