Three-dimensional pointing device using tactile sensors: application to telerobotics

In the areas of virtual reality, telemanipulation, and robot teaching, objects must be manipulated in 3-D space. This paper proposes a 3-D pointing device that uses tactile sensors. First, the concept and construction of the pointing device is described. The key concept of our device is the sensing of the touch pattern of the user's fingers on the device surface and recognition of the number, positions, and pressures of the contact points. Then, the motion commands for manipulating the object are interpreted from this information. The body of the pointing device is a fixed ball or cylinder.
