The Philosophy behind the MOONWALK ProjectMOONWALK is a European Commission project funded under FP7 to develop an EVA simulation infrastructure in Europe.
MOONWALK focusses on Astronaut-Robot cooperation during surface EVA (Moon / Mars) and will finish with two simulation campaigns (Marseilles / Rio Tinto)

The underwater environment serves to recreate surface EVA in reduced gravity (1/6th – Moon) through neutral buoyancy simulations.

The Rio Tinto test site offers conditions similar to some of those on Mars and allow to evaluate field exploration strategies for exobiology.

Astronaut-Robot CooperationFollowing tasks are foreseen to be implemented:
- Field exploration (scouting)
- Hazardous locations exploration (cave, crater, …)
- Assistance in sampling / documentation
- Transport tasks
- Assistance in problems

The IMU that are used to perform the gesture control for the robot are also used to perform hazardous position detection (and alert !)

Future workMOONWALK has entered the fabrication phase of the different components.
It is planned to issue an Announcement of Opportunities to invite external entities to participate
