The experiment is part of Europe\u2019s METERON (Multipurpose End-To-end Robotics Operations Network) project. The overall idea is develop and optimize tasks and directional control.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inquisitr.com\/3048089\/tim-peake-controls-a-earth-robot-from-space-rover-in-u-k-skillfully-driven-by-astronaut-sitting-in-iss\/\">http:\/\/www.inquisitr.com\/3048089\/tim-peake-controls-a-earth-...ng-in-iss\/<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Astronaut Tim Peake controlled a robot from the International Space Station (ISS).
