NASA and GM glove gives workers robotic hands
A robotic glove, developed out of a partnership between NASA and General Motors, will be used to make human factory workers more efficient, while reducing user fatigue and preventing injuries.
Dubbed the RoboGlove, the battery-powered wearable device initially was created as part of the nine-year effort to build Robonaut 2, a humanoid robot that is living and working onboard the International Space Station.
Now GM is working with Bioservo Technologies AB, a Swedish medical technology company, to continue developing the robotic glove so it can be used inside its own manufacturing factories.
