PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To independently operate a meal support robot, etc., by a person having handicap in the upper limb by providing a light projecting part for projecting a directional light, a light receiving part for receiving the light, and a holding part which is elastically deformed by contact with an operator and irradiating the light in a desired position on the light receiving part. SOLUTION: An operation device 1 is adjusted and held by a support 15 so as not to irradiate the light on an operation panel 3 with an elastic body 13 undeformed and, when an operator presses a cheek bone part against a contact part 12, the elastic body is deformed and a laser beam 2 projected from a light projecting part 11 can be selectively irradiated on a plurality of light receiving parts 31 of an operation panel 3. The operation panel 3 is provided with a lot of light receiving parts 31 which receive the laser beam 2, and when respective light receiving parts 31 receive the laser beam 2, a control signal of an arm 4 in response to the light receiving part 31 is outputted to a control part 5. The control part 5 controls the arm 4 according to a sensor signal inputted from the operation panel 3 and a foods holding supply part 42. |
