Intercontinental cooperative telemanipulation between Germany and Japan

The video shows an intercontinental cooperative telemanipulation task, whereby the operator site is located in Munich, Germany and the teleoperator site in Tsukuba, Japan. The human operator controls a remotely located teleoperator, which performs a task in the remote environment. Hereby the human operator is assisted by another person located at the remote site. The task consists in jointly grasping an object, moving it to a new position and finally releasing it.
