"Skil Mate" wearable exoskeleton robot

A wearable exoskeleton robot, Skil Mate, is a new concept that can assist skilled workers in power as well as in skill. Skil Mate is composed of servo mechanisms and haptic devices (tactile or slipping-off sensors/displays), so that it can follow the workers' movement. Skil Mate is suitable for work in hazardous environments such as in space, under sea, etc. The goal of the project is to develop a prototype model of the wearable robot for a spacesuit, which consists of an upper torso assembly and a pair of arms with gloves.
