00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,780
The Intelligent Robotics Group, or IRG team,

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,980
at Ames Research Center is researching

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,850
techniques, methods and systems to facilitate

4
00:00:08,870 --> 00:00:11,440
the use of robots to assist astronauts in a

5
00:00:11,460 --> 00:00:14,690
variety of future space missions.

6
00:00:14,710 --> 00:00:17,620
Astronaut Chris Cassidy on board the ISS

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,910
participated in a surface telerobotics experiment,

8
00:00:20,930 --> 00:00:23,930
remotely maneuvering a rover called K-10 across

9
00:00:23,950 --> 00:00:26,800
the terrain of the new roverscape at Ames and

10
00:00:26,820 --> 00:00:30,090
even deploying a special system that could eventually

11
00:00:30,110 --> 00:00:33,570
be part of a telescope used on other planets.

12
00:00:33,590 --> 00:00:35,930
The IRG team is looking forward to conducting

13
00:00:35,950 --> 00:00:39,010
two more tests with astronauts on board the ISS

14
00:00:39,030 --> 00:00:41,300
later this year.
