WAYS OF PROFESSIONAL INTERACTION OF COSMONAUTS WITH AN ANTHROPOMORPHOUS ROBOT OF SPACE PURPOSE IN A MASTER-SLAVE MODE

摘要

ANNOTATION Anthropomorphous robotic systems will be needed to support crews for performing flight operations during future deep space exploration. Such anthropomorphous robotic assistants (RAs) possess some advantages over other robotic systems. In particular, they can be remotely controlled in a master-slave mode when it is required to perform especially precise manipulations peculiar to humans. When creating and using anthropomorphous robotic assistants for space purpose, ensuring an efficient interaction between expedition crew members and robots becomes topical. The paper considers the key ergo-nomic problems of the creation and the use of RAs and, also, presents the results of already performed experimental studies of the processes of controlling RAs in a master-slave mode in a virtual environment.
