Exoskeletons for industrial application reduce physical overload of the human body that can occur while holding up or lifting weights. To transmit physical forces, interfaces between exoskeleton and human body are required. These forces generate pressure on the skin that is covered by the interfaces. The thermal energy produced by muscle contractions and friction leads to heat stress and sweating at those areas ...
