Nov. 26, 2006
Technology that lets a human "inhabit" the body of a distant robot for remote exploration is being tested in Germany.
The robot sits on top of a wheeled platform and has an extendable arm that it uses to manipulate objects. An operator moves the robot around by simply walking or using a foot pedal and can see out of twin cameras positioned on the robot's head after donning a head-mounted display.
