How will humans and robots work together on the Moon? Future lunar missions will go far beyond exploring the Moon’s surface. Astronauts and robots will work side by side to build infrastructure, conduct scientific experiments, and maintain complex technical systems. But which tasks are best suited to humans, which to robots, and how can both work together most effectively? This interactive exhibit provides insights into the development of future human-robot teams. At its center is a full-scale 1:1 prototype of the TRP rover developed by the Robotics and Mechatronics Center of the DLR. Visitors are invited to explore and test how workstations, tools, and operational procedures for future lunar missions are designed, evaluated, and improved. The exhibit demonstrates how surprisingly simple and tangible prototyping methods can help shape highly advanced space technologies. Through hands-on interaction, observation, and iterative refinement, researchers develop ergonomic, safe, and user-centered solutions for space exploration. The result is a unique glimpse into the design of future space systems and the collaboration between humans and robots on the Moon – from early concepts to technologies that may one day support real lunar missions.
