Example implementations may relate to a computing device configured to operate a robotic system. In particular, the device receives input data that is generated by a hand-holdable controller including a knob, where the knob includes touch sensors arranged to detect touch on surfaces of the knob. Based on the input data, the device detects that the controller is within a first threshold distance from a first component of the robotic system and responsively operates the first component of the robotic system based on the input data. The device then receives subsequent input data that is generated by the controller. Based on the subsequent input data, the device subsequently detects that the controller is within a second threshold distance from a second component of the robotic system and responsively operates the second component of the robotic system based on the subsequent input data.

Joystick chair is an input device for interaction between the user and computer. It enables the movement of the user in games. The invention is used by placing feet on the platform (3) and sitting or leaning on the seat (23). Command for turning is achieved by rotating the seat (23), either to the left or to the right. Command for forward movement is issued by pulling the left or right controller (36, 41) with fingers, while the command for backward movement is issued by pushing the left or right controller (36, 41) away by palms. Control handles for lateral movement (49, 56) are separated from the forward-back controls that are located on the controllers (36, 41). Other commands are achieved with buttons on the left and right controller and they are accessible with thumbs. The software allows the modifications of all available actions of the invention.

A remote control device is a remote control device for an operator to remotely control a real machine, and includes: a limitation unit that sets a movable range of the real machine on the basis of limitation information from the operator; a control unit that generates first command information that is input information for operating the real machine on the basis of control information from the operator and the movable range; and a video display unit that displays a real machine video that is a video of the real machine and a movable information video that is a video of the movable range corresponding to the real machine.

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to robotic point capture and motion control. A robotic device may synchronize one or more first axes of the robotic device with one or more second axes of a handheld device. The device may determine a welding path using the handheld device. The device may perform a weld by the traversing of an end effector of the robotic across the welding path, wherein the end effector comprises a welding tip.

Example implementations may relate to a haptic hand-holdable controller. In particular, an example device may take the form of a haptic controller, which senses tactile information and provides force feedback for a more intuitive user experience. The force feedback may indicate a state of the device that is being controlled. An example haptic handheld controller may be utilized to manipulate data input to a robot, a tablet computer, and/or any other type of computing device. In an example embodiment, the haptic handheld controller may be such that the controller indicates to the user what manipulation of different types of data feels like, for example, by using operating modes for the haptic handheld controller where a motor varies feedback to the handheld controller.

This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to robotic point capture and motion control. A robotic device may synchronize one or more robotic device axes with one or more axes of a handheld control device. The robotic device may establish a connection between a robotic device and the handheld control device, wherein the robotic device is capable of moving along the one or more robotic device axes. The robotic device may receive a control signal comprising an indication to transition to a point in space along travel path, wherein the travel path is based on information relating to one or more locations and one or more orientations of the handheld control device. The robotic device may cause to transition an end effector of the robotic device to the point in space based on the indication in the control signal.
