It can definitely be called a significant feat achieved by a Danish astronaut currently at the ISS, as he has been controlling a robot on earth through feeling of ways to do the task. Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen is present at the ISS for 10-day mission and one of the tasks of his stay is to guide this robot on earth through feelings. His experiment is being monitored by the European Space Agency.

During the experiment when Andreas was orbiting around 250 miles above the earth, he was able to take control of the Interact Centaur rover. Due to the signals that bounce off a complex system of satellites, the astronaut is able to maintain a contact with the robot, which has cost around $224,000 to build.

The robot is in blue and white color and made of fiberglass. Researchers think that the experiment has great importance, as it can allow humans to guide robots in crisis situation by feeling the ways to do the task. As per the researchers, with this way robots can perform human-like tasks on the surface of a distant planet.
