Abstract
The main objective of the study collected in this paper is to study the changes in the execution of a repetitive task of industrial field when it is carried out with the help of an active upper-limb exoskeleton. To do this, an experimentation has been carried out in which the aim is to compare the differences when performing a task with and without the exoskeleton. Results show that the incorporation of the active upper-limb exoskeleton supposes an advantage in the execution of the task, in terms of precision and control against disturbances.
