Position and posture controller of stereo-pattern

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To control the position and posture of a stereo-pattern in accordance with the sense of an operator by detecting the force and the moment applied to an indication input device in the form of an axial component of the 3-dimensional coordinates and performing the prescribed arithmetic control based on the detected axial component. CONSTITUTION:The force components Fx, Fy and Fz and the moment components Mx, My and Mz are obtained by a multi-axis force sensor 9 in response to the force and the moment applied to an operation lever 5. The signals Fx, Fy and Fz are used to move a stereo-pattern displayed on a graphic display device 1 toward axes (x), (y) and (z) respectively on a screen. While signals Mx, My and Mz are used to turn the stereo-pattern round the axes (x), (y) and (z) on the screen. The pattern is moved toward these axes (x), (y) and (z) by the components Fx, Fy and Fz at the speeds proportional to each of these force components. While the pattern is turned in the directions of axes (x), (y) and (z) at the angular speeds proportional to the moment components respectively. These movements and rotations of the pattern are executed the operation and control of a computer provided within the device 1.
