Summary:The Japanese Experiment Module Remote Manipulator System is a robot system for practical use in a manned space system, the International Space Station. It is a macro-micro system of two serial 6-dof manipulators in outside the vehicle and controlled via an operation console in inside the vehicle. Numerous networked computer systems with hierarchical software play important roles supporting its management, human interface and motion control in preprogrammed and manual operations. This paper presents its system features as a highly reliable remote space robot focusing on its telematics aspect and the tele-operation capability from the ground that NASDA has been studying.
