Abstract

Exoskeletons are an emerging form of technology that combines the skills of both machines and humans to give wearers the ability to complete physically demanding tasks that would be too strenuous for most humans. Exoskeleton adoption has the potential to both enhance and disrupt many aspects of work, including power dynamics in the workplace and the human-machine interactions that take place. Dyadic Power Theory (DPT) is a useful theory for exploring the impacts of exoskeleton adoption. In this conceptual paper, we extend DPT to relationships between humans and machines in organizations, as well as human-human communication where use of an exoskeleton has resulted in shifts of power.

外骨骼和工作的未来:在没有限制的劳动力中设想权力和控制
外骨骼是一种新兴的技术形式,它结合了机器和人类的技能,使佩戴者能够完成对大多数人来说过于费力的体力任务。外骨骼的采用有可能增强和破坏工作的许多方面,包括工作场所的权力动态和发生的人机交互。二元功率理论(DPT)是探索外骨骼采用影响的有用理论。在这篇概念性论文中,我们将DPT扩展到组织中人与机器之间的关系,以及使用外骨骼导致权力转移的人与人之间的交流。
