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)
