Abstract

This paper presents a novel exoskeleton hand system for measuring extravehicular activity spacesuit glove (EVA glove) joint's mechanical characteristics. For adapting to variety sizes of gloves, the proximal phalanx of exoskeleton finger can be adjusted through an additional four-bar transmission mechanism. The exoskeleton hand can apply forces that actuate both flexion and extension of EVA glove. Based on its special mechanical structure, a mathematic model of flexible EVA glove joint has been built.
