Abstract :
In this paper, design considerations and design solutions have been outlined for a structure of a chameleon-like robot foot/hand for space applications in space stations. A new kind of foot/hand designed for space operations is presented. This foot/hand design is inspired by chameleon foot which can grasp handrail and adsorb surface of space station. The foot/hand has four DOFs and its simple structure ensures high reliability.
