Automatic power-assisted gloves (RoboGlove) developed by General Motors (GM) and NASA for the International Space Station will soon be used in daily life and work. Swedish medical technology company Bioservo Technologies AB has signed a licensing agreement with GM, which will be introduced into the healthcare, manufacturing and other industries in the future. The first batch of finished products has been tested at GM's own factory.
Marty Linn, GM's forward-looking technical manager and chief engineer in robotics, shook hands with robot astronaut Robonaut 2 (R2).
GM plans to introduce the automatic power-assisted glove device in the United States and test it in some factories.
Through a partnership with General Motors, Bioservo will optimize the integration of its SEM GloveTM muscle strengthening gloves with the grip enhancement technology of RoboGlove gloves.
RoboGlove gloves are one of the research results of GM's cooperation with NASA for nine years. The gloves are battery-driven and can bring better friction. The pressure sensor can calculate correctly and can reduce the force by about half. If it needs normal work 15- With 20 pounds of pressure, it can be reduced to 5-10 pounds.
In addition, in cooperation with Bioservo, GM will incorporate the latter's SEM GloveTM muscle strengthening gloves technology into RoboGlove gloves. The first hand-held gripping aid will be used in the industrial field to reduce the muscle fatigue of the user's hands and improve effectiveness.
Mr. Kurt Wiese, vice president of global manufacturing engineering at GM, said: "The new generation of RoboGlove gloves will effectively reduce the amount of power users need to use during long or repeated movements."
