FORCE REFLECTING HAPTIC INTERFACE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for physically exchanging a force with a user in a first user local environment. SOLUTION: The apparatus is used for physically exchanging the force with the user in the first user local environment, and comprises (a) a connecting component (202) for connecting to a user's body member, and (b) a linkage means for physically linking the connecting component to ground (118). The linkage means comprises (i) power means (120, 130, and 140) for supplying power at least three independent freedoms for the connecting component (202) to the ground (118); and (ii) means for maintaining a state where power is not supplied to at least two of the power freedoms for the connecting component (202) relative to the ground (118).
