Abstract
Virtual reality technologies have a great importance for laboratory and semi-natural ergonomic research of the cosmonaut-robot interface functions. The Cosmonaut Training Center has performed experimental studies of user characteristics of the software/hardware complex for a cosmonaut-operator's workstation and the processes of controlling an anthropomorphic robotic assistant using the emulation of executed interaction scenarios between 3D models of robots and the environment. The paper considers the results of experimental ergonomic studies of remote controlling the anthropomorphic robotic assistants using full-scale exoskeletons and virtual 3D models of robots and the environment.

Key words
Space crew extravehicular and intravehicular activity, anthropomorphic robot, exoskeleton, ergonomic support, induced and augmented virtual reality.
