ISR Researchers Around the World | Rute Luz @ESA
Rute Luz, a researcher at ISR-Lisboa, had the opportunity to work at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in the Netherlands. Inspired by a presentation by Thomas Krüger, Rute proposed using a teleoperation setup at the International Space Station for her research on haptic feedback. During her seven-month stay, she successfully implemented a system that responded to user forces in a complex way, enhancing the interaction with the robot. Rute’s experience at ESTEC was a dream come true, allowing her to apply her skills and learn from parallel projects in the field of space research.
