ABSTRACT:
A device for remotely controlling a multi-axial device has: an arm on which an operator's arm is set; a handle connected to front end of the arm; and joints for the arm and the handle. By the operation of the operator's arm and hand set on the arm and handle, the arm can be extended and horizontally and vertically pivoted, and the handle can be horizontally and vertically pivoted and, preferably, rolled as well. The arm portion outputs operational changes with respect to three axes of the horizontal rotation, the vertical rotation and the extending movement. The arm front portion outputs operational changes with respect to the three axes of the horizontal, vertical and rolling rotations. Thus, the number of axes employed in the master can be increased to detect a variety of movements thereof. The operational directions of the joy stick agree with the directions of the three rectangular coordinate axes. Thus, the device provides three-dimensional data regarding position and angle.
