Robotic gloves

With power goggles, astronauts and car assembly workers will reduce the pressure on the muscles of the hands when handling instruments for a long time.

With the support of General Motors (GM), NASA has introduced a new robotic glove, designed specifically for those who work in difficult environments such as astronauts and workers in homes. car engine.

This is a project that emerged after GM and NASA proudly launched the first human-space robot, called R2 .

R2 is responsible for assisting astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS), as well as for updating the ISS Twitter blog.

According to the InformationWeb , the robotic glove promises good support to the user, helping them reduce the force needed to perform a technical operation, as well as prevent injuries when using the tool. long.

'An astronaut working in a pressure suit outside the ISS or a factory assembly worker may need a power of 7 to 9kg to keep the tool in service. But with robotic gloves, they need only 2.2 kg to 4.5 kg of force , according to the research team.

NASA and GM say the technology will soon be implemented in the near future.
