Industrial Design Student Work: A Stabilizing Robotic Tail for Floating Astronauts

The Augmented Limb for Zero-Gravity Movement Control is a project by industrial design student Cheng Chang. Chang is in the Design Products program at the RCA, and this project was undertaken for the Design Futures course. "In the plausible future, there is going to be a whole generation of humans living their lives in zero-gravity," Chang writes. "This kind of environmental shift will totally reshape our understanding of space and body function." "When our hands and feet are no longer...
