ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for controlling a remote device using a command glove system are disclosed. An apparatus for controlling a device is arranged to be at least partially supported on and operated by a human appendage. The apparatus is further arranged to transmit signals to and receive signals from the device, and includes a positioning assembly mounted on the human appendage. The positioning assembly is arranged to respond to motions of the human appendage, and also transmits position signals that are used to control the device. The apparatus includes a braking assembly which is arranged to resist motion of the positioning assembly, and responds to resistance signals received from the device. The apparatus also includes a sense effecting assembly which transforms haptic signals received from the device into sensations felt by the human appendage.
