The Robonaut Hand: A Dexterous Robot Hand for Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
A highly anthropomorphic human scale robot hand designed for space based operations is presented. This five finger hand combined with its integrated wrist and forearm has fourteen independent degrees of freedom. The device approximates very well the kinematics and required strength of an astronaut's hand when operating through a pressurized space suit glove. The mechanisms used to meet these requirements are described in detail along with the design philosophy behind them. Integration experiences reveal the challenges associated with obtaining the required capabilities within the desired size.

متن کاملInnovative Design of Robot Hands for Space Activities
In the last decade a number of devices for robotic manipulation in the space environment has been proposed and even tested in space [1]-[3]. Nevertheless, these devices were equipped with simple (1-3 dof) grippers while the goal, currently pursued, is to completely substitute astronauts in the execution of hazardous or time consuming tasks. Therefore, more dexterous end-effectors have been prop...

This paper addresses the problem of automatic skill acquisition by a robot. It reports that six trials of a reach-grasp-release-retract skill are sufficient for learning a canonical description of the task under the following circumstances: The robot is Robonaut, NASA’s space-capable, dexterous humanoid. Robonaut was teleoperated by a person using full immersion Virtual Reality technology that ...

HANDEXOS is an exoskeleton device for supporting the human hand and performing teleoperation activities. It could be used to operate both in remote-manipulation mode and directly in microgravity environments. In manipulation mode, crew or operators within the space ship could tele-control the endeffector of a robot in the space during the execution of extravehicular activities (EVA) by means of...
