A Systematic Literature and Market Analysis for Wearable Exoskeleton

Exoskeleton systems are generally designed to have a structure suitable for human anatomy and are wearable structures that interact with people. They can be used to contribute to the basic functions of users such as walking, running, sitting, standing and carrying heavy loads, as well as in the rehabilitation and treatment process such as restoring the ability of the user's lower and/or upper limbs. Another area of use is to increase the strength of healthy limbs above normal. The primary goal is to increase performance and, in this sense, they have a wide range of uses. Designed exoskeleton structures make people's lives easier and provide individuals with a better quality of life in the areas where they are used. The aim of the study is to present academic studies and current products in the market in the field of wearable exoskeletons, to determine which class these products belong to, to determine which area the studies are focused on and to determine potential study areas for new research. Systematic literature analysis was used in the study and studies and products were analyzed according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. This study systematizes studies in the field of exoskeletons, determines their interrelationships, introduces basic applications for researchers who are new to this field and aims to create an interdisciplinary study area.
