ESA Euronews: Canada’s robot masters
Robots are an essential companion to mankind in space, and many of the modern-day masters of these robots are to be found in Montreal, home to the Canadian Space Agency.
Euronews Space has unique access to the team, among them operations engineer Mathieu Caron, who can steer the Canadarm 2 directly from his control room, or instruct astronauts piloting it in space.

Chris Hadfield!!!!!!!!!!! 😀
Great vid, suuuuuuuuuuuppper interesting!!!!
I'm somewhat surprised to hear that the arm can collide with objects whose position can be known with certainty: modules on the ISS and the arm itself. Couldn't software predict such a collision in advance and prevent such a manual mistake?
