An exoskeleton to remote-control a robot | André Schiele | TEDxRheinMain

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. André Schiele, leading ESA's telerobotics lab, demonstrates a very special remote robotic operations. Donning an exoskeleton that weighs just 10 kg, he controls a robot at ESA's technical heart in Noordwijk, the Netherlands -- over 400 km away.
André Schiele will explore how robotics technology developed for the ISS may enable a breakthrough for robotics technologies on Earth.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Remarkable ! As he was guiding through his speech, I could imagine countless scenarios where exoskeletons can make a huge difference.

Man.... I was sweating with you while watching this demo bro. Many times I've had my robot working fine in the lab but when it came to the presentation some times for one reason or another the system failed. It's like the old cartoon with the singing frog.

Interesting.

[@soniquete24]

deeply impressed! Will it be possible to play a guitar like this?

[@petetheweet]

Only if you can play guitar.

[@gaiaurbanjungle5596]

Your imagination is your limitation!

Me: *knows what my fingers can do*
Women: "Ew"

Exoskeleton? Only body tracking like kinect and leap motion already work.

Ojhh

Old - but you could have the Indians control those robots and have them apprehend criminals and save money and lives (no lethal danger means police won't be trigger happy). They can also be used for construction, moving things, cooking, farming, plumbing...
