That is so freaking cool! I'm a 3. semester electrical engineering student, and i've only just built (from the bottom) a small robot that can follow a line, by using photosensitive sensors, signal modulation and simple logic. Building robots like this, used for extraterrestrial use is a dream of mine :)
+FirstRoyalAfro Do it. I can wholeheartedly recommend it. It's a whole new world that opens up to you when you learn how electronics work (along with all the physics and math that goes with it). Ohh, and the pay is nice too, or so I've heard ;)
math and physics aont be a problem for me ^^ i guess. im rlly excited to finish my school and continue with studing :) i guess u re german ... atlest ur name seemse german anyways need to finish my "abiture" (thats my last year in school ) and then i finally ll study engineering . i was thinking about renewable engerys too ^^
FirstRoyalAfro I'm Danish, but close. My name is German though, although i don't remember why... After i quick search, i assume you're from somewhere in the Baltics? It's good that Math isn't a major problem for you, because you need it, but the great thing about math in engineering, is that it's not just "math for the sake of math", but you actually get to use it to build circuits and applications by 2. and 3. semester. You don't have to rush it though. Take a year off when you're done with high-school to cool off and rest your brain. Literally everyone on my semester, myself included, has had a year or more off school, and everyone agrees that it's one of the best decisions they've taken. I'm 22, started when i was 21. Renewable energy is a massive market, which is only getting bigger as i write this, so that's definitely an idea. Electrical- and mechanical engineering would be perfect for that. I've toyed with the idea myself, but i think I'm too nerdy to not make robots, programs and weird gizmos instead :)
If you really want a task which will tell you about the fine details of your haptics...... A rig for telepresent guitar (bass might be a good one). If you can play guitar and modify tone/dynamics properly then you can do anything. Given that is a low latency task though, more than 150ms or so will be hard to play with.
Which planet esa planned to "conquer"? In order to be effective the force feedback, I guess data travel on super fast net. How to deal with the latencies? Or maybe I missed some important detail of the video? Can you point me some link with details on these topics?
How about installing a 360 degree camera on the rover, and have the operator wear a head mounted display (like the Oculus Rift of HTC Vive). That way the operator can just turn their head to look around and have a much deeper feeling of (tele)presence. Of course that setup is very sensitive to latency times, which probably makes it unusable.. but it's cool to think about. :) I got excited about this rover though, please let us know how it performs!
i hope ESA is aiming to do this on the moon. i feel like ut has been overlooked, in favor of mars. however establishing a base on the moon is much easier, much safer, and with in situ resource gathering it would make a perfect refueling site. ;) og ESA!

+IchBinEin haha thats awesome i want to study electrical engineering aswell as soon as im able to ^^

Very impressive! Amazing job!
Wish that I could work with you guys!
