MANUAL OPERATION DEVICE AND SIGNAL PROCESSING METHOD THEREFOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manual operation device which can carry out a six-axes input by one hand, completely separates only a parallel movement input from a rotation input, carries out the rotation input by suppressing the parallel movement input due to a vibration of the hand opposite to an intention and intentionally carries out the parallel movement input and the rotation input at the same time, and to provide a signal processing method used therefor. SOLUTION: The manual operation device includes an input device 10 which can input by a one-hand operation parallel movement inputs x, y and z of three orthogonal axes and rotation inputs θx, θy and θz on three-axes and detect the parallel movement inputs and the rotation inputs respectively, and a signal processor 20 for processing signals of the parallel movement inputs and the rotation inputs respectively detected in the input device and outputting the signals to a robot control part 30. The signal processor 20 includes a sensitivity adjusting part 26 and an input deciding part 29 for reducing a sensitivity to the parallel movement input when an absolute value of the rotation input is a prescribed first threshold value or larger and an absolute value of the parallel movement input is smaller than a prescribed second threshold value.
