ESA METERON Project (Animation)

Published on Jul 9, 2012

A video trailer of the proposed ESA Project METERON (Multi-Purpose End-To-End Robotic Operation Network). METERON is a technology demonstration experiment including the International Space Station ISS. A set of novel haptic control devices (Force-reflecting joystick, exoskeleton, 3D display) will be used by Astronauts from on-board the ISS to control robotic systems on ground. Technology validation will be for transparent bi-lateral telemanipulation, shared autonomous operations and autonomous operations. The METERON experiment will validate technology candidates for future exploration mission usage. METERON is an ESA-led mission proposal with intended participation by DLR, Roscosmos and NASA
 

An exoskeleton to remote-control a robot | Andre Schiele

Published on Jul 7, 2014

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Andre Schiele, leading ESA's telerobotics lab, demonstrates a very special remote robotic operations. Donning an exoskeleton that weighs just 10 kg, he controls a robot at ESA's technical heart in Noordwijk, the Netherlands -- over 400 km away.

Andre Schiele will explore how robotics technology developed for the ISS may enable a breakthrough for robotics technologies on Earth.
