The proposed group of inventions relates to programme control devices and can be used as a control element (foot-operated manipulator) for controlling electronic devices. The claimed manipulator for controlling an electronic device contains a body with surfaces for supporting an operator's feet and with projecting surfaces which are intended to be mounted on a horizontal surface; wherein the body incorporates a unit for processing and receiving/transmitting data to an electronic device, said unit being connected to said electronic device by means of a wired or wireless connection; the body is designed in the form of a hollow pipe, which is closed at both ends; the projecting surfaces, which are intended to be mounted on a horizontal surface, are designed in the form of rolling wheels which are rigidly fastened outside the body symmetrically in relation to the centre of the body, between the surfaces for supporting the operator's feet or in the centre of the body; wherein a cavity of the body additionally has mounted therein a sensor unit for detecting motion of the body, said sensor unit being functionally connected to the unit for processing and receiving/transmitting data to the electronic device; and the manipulator is designed so as to be capable of rolling and/or tilting relative to a horizontal axis. |
