Explore how NASA's Human Exploration Telerobotics (HET) project drives technical innovation and testing of advanced telerobotics technology for more productive, capable, and higher quality operations in space. Testing methods focus on proving technical advances and enhancing human-robot interaction and performance metrics. Terry Fong from NASA Ames leads the initiative in crew-centric operations, dexterous manipulation, latency mitigation, robot control modes, sensors, and perception. By eliminating speculation and grounding operations in science fact, HET aims for enhanced exploration and productive time in space.

If you can’t measure it, you can’t claim it… Better exploration is the goal (not just “presence”) • More productive, more capable, higher quality • Faster, farther, more precisely, more accurately, etc. • Higher return (better science / unit time / $ spent) Testing is essential • Eliminate speculation and science fiction • Ground system design & operations in science fact • Understand what works… what does not…and why NASA Human Exploration Telerobotics (HET) • Test-driven project to prove technical advances • Use ISS to test advanced telerobotics technology • Robonaut 2, Smart SPHERES, K10 rover, etc. • Surface telerobotics tests starting in 2013 (ISS Incr 35-36) • Human-robot interaction & performance metrics • Fan-out, productive time, overhead time, team situation awareness, mean time between interventions credit: Lockheed Martin • HET is testing … • Crew-centric operations • Data communications • Dexterous manipulation • Latency mitigation • Low-level autonomy • Robot control modes • Sensors & perception • etc. Terry Fong / NASA Ames
