Abstract
Description
この触力覚提示装置における処理を説明する。操作部1が操作されて操作部1の入力検出センサ2から検出データaが出力される。シミュレータ算出部4は、その検出データaを、データベース5の仮想的な物体情報である仮想物理データbと参照比較した後、触力覚提示アクチュエータ3を駆動させるための力である提示データcを計算する。その後、このシミュレータ算出部4は、提示データcに基づき、例えばディスプレイである情報提示部7に対して視覚情報として、目標とされる基準仮想面を表示する表示データeを出力する。それとともに、シミュレータ算出部4は、データベース5に対して、この提示データcに基づき予め記憶させた仮想物理データbを更新させる処理を行う。アクチュエータ制御部6は、シミュレータ算出部4から提示データcが入力された場合に、提示データcに基づき、触力覚提示アクチュエータ3に対して提示する力を算出および制御するための制御データdを生成し、この制御データdに基づき触力覚提示アクチュエータ3を駆動させる。
このとき、操作レバー61の底面とXY軸方向への移動へ限定するための傾斜面15A及び61Aの傾きを適宜、調整することにより、方向変換リンク部材63によるガイド移動部30のZ軸方向の力を、操作部1の操作レバー61のXY軸方向の力に変換し易いようにしても良い。
