SPACESUIT WITH LIQUID COOLING VENTILATION GARMENT, SOFT EXOSKELETON, AND BIOSENSORS

摘要

Disclosed herein is a spacesuit including a liquid cooling ventilation garment, a soft exoskeleton, at least one biometric sensor, and an electronic controller in electronic communication with the liquid cooling ventilation garment, the soft exoskeleton, and the at least one biometric sensor. The electronic controller is configured to operate the soft exoskeleton based on electromyography data of the at least one biometric sensor to produce a desired change in orientation of the soft exoskeleton and corresponding user. The electronic controller is further configured to operate the liquid cooling ventilation garment based on temperature data of the at least one biometric sensor to maintain a user temperature within a predetermined user temperature range. In certain embodiments, the liquid cooling ventilation garment is in thermal communication with the soft exoskeleton and used for thermal management thereof. Such configurations reduce the physical and cognitive loading of the astronaut.
