ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen remotely operated an-Earth based rover and its robotic arm while 400 km in orbit aboard the International Space Station.
The force-feedback-based teleoperation controls developed by the ESA let Andreas feel whenever the rover’s appendages meet resistance, allowing him to perform remote-controlled tasks in the sub-millimetre range.
Using the Interact Centaur rover, Mogensen successfully located an "operations task board" and then placed a metal plug into it with 0.15 mm of clearance. He also used the force-feedback joystick to differentiate the stiffness of different springs.
