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 !)
