Space Justin Robot Will Fix Your Satellites, Look Cool Doing It

If your satellite isn't so far gone as to require harvesting and zombification by DARPA but could still use a tune-up, SpaceJustin the Space Robot is here to help. To feel with your own hands what the robotic hand is touching. To see exactly what the robot's eyes are seeing. Researchers from the Robotics and Mechatronics Center at the DLR site in Oberpfaffenhofen can now operate their SpaceJustin robot remotely; they not only control the robot, but receive feedback as well. In the future, this interactive service can be used when SpaceJustin is in space repairing satellites, operating switches or exchanging modules.
