ABSTRACT:
It is proposed that a real or virtual slave system with p degrees of freedom is controlled by means of a manual control member comprising a handle (10) formed by an active part (12) and one or two information return parts (14). A speed or displacement transducer or sensor (24) can be mounted in the active part (12) in order to produce signals used for controlling the slave system. Actuators, e.g. fitted in a support connected to the handle (10) by a flexible cord (22), receive informations from the slave system and transform them into a torque. This torque is transmitted to the information return part (14), e.g. by cables (30,34), so that a stress or force representative of the information from the slave system is applied to the hand of the operator.
