Tech4Guide - Has recently been developed a glove that is designed specifically for astronauts, in order to perform mechanical repairs without having to suffer muscle fatigue when it arrives on Earth. The technology is called RoboGlove originally developed by NASA and General Motors (GM) in 2012, has now been licensed to Bioservo Technologies, which is a Swedish medical technology company.
These gloves are using actuators and tendons to mimic artificial muscles of the hand of man, and is an example of technology "soft exoskeleton", it is a lightweight device that can improve the strength and durability of the wearer.
Bioservo Technologies will combine RoboGlove with his grip technology, the SEM (Soft Extra Muscle). GM said they intend to try these products at factories in the US, where he will provide additional grip strength for factory workers.
The role of NASA in the development of this glove itself Robonaut 2 is intended to assist in repairing the International Space Station. Gloves are also inspired by the robot, but combined with the flexibility of a human hand.
Pressure sensors in the gloves will detect when the user is holding an object, then trigger a synthetic tendon to reinforce the strength of the grip of the user.
Other companies including Hyundai, BMW, and Panasonic has also developed a prototype exoskeleton of varying complexity to help manufacturing workers. With the presence of RoboGlove could lend a hand robots to help the heavy work.
