Exoskeletons assist physical tasks by applying significant forces that actuate human joints. Users feel these forces as more or less comfortable depending on the design of the physical interfaces, e.g. wide contact surfaces and soft materials.
I would be happy to hear your experience on what factors affect user comfort the most, when going for larger and larger assistive forces.
My feeling is that at some point the discomfort caused by large forces overcomes the benefits of being physically assisted, resulting at best in users preferring not to wear the exoskeleton in the first place.
