Waist-supportive exoskeletons have been designed and developed to lower the possibilities of spinal injuries of workers working in different fields like assembly lines, logistics, construction, healthcare, and agriculture. It is preferable to utilize an external wearable device for the human workers which will enhance their capabilities in certain areas of industries where heavy load lifting machines like forklifts and stackers cannot be utilized in compact spaces. This article discusses the systems of waist supportive exoskeleton and reviews the material selection aspects for manufacturing frame of the exoskeleton. Aluminium alloy Al7075 and Carbon Fibre are more suitable for manufacturing frame of the waist-supportive exoskeletons. Design of exoskeleton can be further improved by using composite materials for its various components which will reduce its overall weight and enhance human capabilities. © 2022
