At present, the requirements for the characteristics of the “cosmonaut-anthropomorphic robotic system-environment” ergatic system, the procedure for evaluating the performance of a cosmonaut-operator when using anthropomorphic robots, proposals for the functionality of this ergatic system and the ways of its application in order to increase the operational quality of existing and future manned space complexes can be determined and substantiated only as a result of carrying out experimental studies using an anthropomorphic robotic system.

The future projects of lunar exploration suppose a wide use of robotic systems of space purposes. The paper tackles the issues of determining phases of in-formation interaction of a cosmonaut with a space humanoid robot in a master-slave mode. The identification of these phases helps to determine the construction features of both master-slave robots and automatic robots designed to assist cosmonauts in the course of their professional activity in long-duration interplanetary missions. Furthermore, the determination of phases of information interaction of a cosmonaut with a space humanoid robot in a master-slave mode is quite topical. The unique experiments with the Fyodor humanoid robot conducted under the Ispytatel space experiment aboard the International Space Station in August-September, 2019, emphasized the need to analyze the obtained results step-by-step.
