KINESTHETIC SENSE DETECTION SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To expand a degree of design freedom of arranging buttons.SOLUTION: A kinesthetic sense detection system 1 arranging a virtual button 16 on an exterior face of an object 10 comprises: a ROM 19 in which a location vector of an area of the exterior face of the object 10 and a location vector of an area where the button 16 is arranged are stored; a kinesthetic sense sensor 11 that acquires a measurement value of a stress or moment acting on a supporting point of the object 10; computation means 20 that uses the location vector of the area of the exterior face of the object 10 and the measurement value to calculate a size of an external force Fand an acting point Pof the external force from F+F=0, F*(P-P)+M=0, F=ΣF, and M=Σ{F*(P-P)}+ΣM; and determination means 21 that determines that the button 16 is pushed when the acting point Pcalculated by the computation means 20 agrees with the location vector where the button 16 is arranged.
