WITH <strong>INTERACT</strong>, ESA AIMS TO PRESENT AND VALIDATE<br />
A FUTURE WHERE HUMANS AND ROBOTS EXPLORE <strong>SPACE</strong><br />
TOGETHER. ROBOTS WILL PROVIDE THEIR OPERATORS MUCH<br />
WIDER SENSORY FEEDBACK OVER MUCH GREATER DISTANCES<br />
THAN WHAT CAN BE DONE BY TERRESTRIAL ROBOTS TODAY.<br />
NOT ONLY IN <strong>SPACE</strong>, BUT ALSO ON EARTH, REMOTE<br />
CONTROLLED ROBOTICS WILL PROVE HIGHLY ENABLING IN<br />
DANGEROUS AND INACCESSIBLE ENVIRONMENTS. THEY CAN<br />
BE USED IN ARCTIC CONDITIONS, IN THE DEEP SEA OR FOR<br />
ROBUST INTERVENTION IN NUCLEAR DISASTER SITES.<br />
WE CAN EXPECT THAT FUTURE HUMAN EXPLORATION<br />
MISSIONS TO THE MOON AND MARS WILL BENEFIT FROM<br />
SUCH ADVANCED HUMAN-ROBOTIC OPERATIONS. ESA’S<br />
RESEARCH IN TELEROBOTIC TECHNOLOGIES AND ADVANCED<br />
CREW OPERATIONS FROM ORBIT WILL PLAY A KEY ROLE<br />
IN THESE COMING ADVENTURES. THE ESA TELEROBOTICS<br />
AND HAPTICS LABORATORY, ALONG WITH ESA’S TECHNICAL<br />
AND <strong>SPACE</strong> EXPLORATION DIRECTORATE ARE DEDICATED<br />
TO TAKING THE NEXT BIG STEPS IN HUMAN-ROBOT<br />
COLLABORATION IN <strong>SPACE</strong>.<br />
