An astronaut was able to direct a remote-controlled robot on Earth into placing a small peg into an extremely narrow hole from hundreds of miles away.
An astronaut recently controlled a robot on Earth from aboard the International Space Station with astounding precision.
Andreas Mogensen remotely took hold over the blue-and-white robot and directed it toward a circuit board.
Once at the board, the rover, via Mogensen's joystick-based control, successfully placed a round peg into a quite narrow hole.
The process used haptic, tactile-based technology; Mogensen could essentially feel his way through the entir
