ESA METERON Project (Animation)

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
