This image may not be used to state or imply ESA endorsement of any company or product The Interact Centaur Rover, designed and manufactured by the European Space Agency (ESA) Telerobotics and Haptics Laboratory, approaching a task board to demonstrate a mechanical assembly task though teleoperation from space to ground, on 28 August 2015. Astronaut Andreas Mogens used a set of controls aboard the International Space Station to operate the rover located at an ESA centre in the Netherlands. The system uses force feedback allowing Mogens to feel the operation through his controls as he conducted the demonstration.
