An aeronautics and astronautics project led by MIT researcher Chuck Oman aims to provide better training systems for astronauts to learn how to use robotic arms in space. At left, Joseph Silverman, a sophomore in mechanical engineering, tries his hand with the joysticks that control the robotic arm. At right is graduate student Zakiya Tomlinson, who is running the experiment.
