Robotic Joint Torque Testing: A Critical Tool in the Development of Pressure Suit Mobility Elements
Pressure suits allow pilots and astronauts to survive in extreme environments at the edge of Earth's atmosphere and in the vacuum of space. One obstacle that pilots and astronauts face is that gas-pressurized suits stiffen when pressurized and greatly limit user mobility. As a result, a critica...
