   Yes. There were several successful such experiments aboard a Spacelab   
   mission, which were provided and run by DLR in Oberpfaffenhofen. A robot   
   hand controlled from the ground, with a variable 4-7 second delay, caught   
   a moving object. The operator was assisted by predictive graphics to perform   
   the task.
