TL;DR Summary

For the first time in history, a robot dog named Bert has been controlled by an astronaut outside of Earth's atmosphere, marking a significant milestone in space technology. The European Space Agency astronaut Marcus Wandt controlled Bert, along with other robotic systems, from the International Space Station as part of a project aiming to enable human commanders to control robots on other worlds like the Moon or Mars. The experiment also involved cooperation between different robots to perform tasks, with the ultimate goal of having astronauts control multiple robots on missions to the Moon and Mars.
