Space robot systems and on-orbit telerobotics technology will play an essential role in the construction and maintenance of large-scale structures such as the International Space Station (ISS). Teleoperation is considered one the most important technologies for reducing and supplementing on-board operations by astronauts. The National Aerospace Laboratory has been participating in the Engineering Test Satellite 7 (ETS-7) robot experiments in order to establish the basic technologies for on-orbit truss assembly. This paper reports on the experiments conducted with the ETS-7 robot arm regarding the novel use of force reflection hand controllers to improve continuous teleoperation with long communications delays.
