The paper describes the concept and mechanical design of applications for environmental testing of interfaces used in space robotics. The state of the art, mechanical description of the proposed solution, functional description, design methodology and tribological problems encountered are discussed. At the end, a summary and scope of further work is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
