Reminds me of the old timey deep dive suits which had mechanical hands the "pilot" had to manipulate because the suit was too thick to use their hands

You just made me remember when I was I kid and at some museum they had a bunch of dive suits you could reach in and operate the mechanisms for the gripper hands. It was really cool.

You mean an atmospheric diving suit. The most recently developed one by the US Navy cost a mere $113 million.
