Communication Technologies for Force-Feedback Teleoperation of On-Ground Robots from the International Space Station in the Frame of the “Kontur-2” Experiment

The issues on using of the communication technologies and haptic interface for remote control of on-ground robots from the Russian Segment of the International Space Station (ISS RS) in the frame of “Kontur-2” space experiment are presented. Force-feedback as a key technology of this control system ensures elements of telepresence for an operator using visual and tactile feedback in a closed control loop. Results of space sessions on control of on-ground robots from the ISS RS are presented.
