The ERA (European Robotic Arm) is Europe€s arm in space, so to say. For control, the astronaut slips on a cuff enabling him to remotely control the artificial arm. This way, even assignments that are too dangerous for humans, such as repair work or taking samples, can be performed with the right feel. In the future, a larger robot - the "Eurobot" could also be controlled with this technology.
