    Aboard the International Space Station, astronauts are participating in the Haptics-1 experiment to investigate technologies that astronauts in orbit would require to control robots on the surface of a planet or the moon. Here, NASA astronaut Kjell Lindgren wears a force-feedback torso harness.
    Surgeons operate using a robotic surgical system, with one at the controls and others assisting around an operating table.
    A surgeon looks at a monitor while remotely operating micro- instruments inserted in a patient with the da Vinci Surgical System. Astronauts in Mars orbit could operate robots on the surface with similar low-latency technology.
