INPUT MANUAL OPERATING DEVICE USING GRIPPING MOTION

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To conduct input manual operation for a computer etc., through grasping motions for any object appearing in everyday life and can present a feeling of a grasping object. SOLUTION: An input manual operating device concerned is composed of a grasping operation part 1 consisting of a thumb piece 11 and forefinger piece 12 configured capable of opening and closing and a coordinate sensing part 2 in a similar form to a mouth to detect the coordinates by movement on a two-dimensional plane. The shaft 13 of the grasping operation part 1 is equipped with an angle encoder to sense the operating angle of the forefinger piece 12 and a brake device which presents a feeling of grasping an object by means of giving a resistance to the rotating forefinger piece 12.
