Abstract :
The purpose of this research is to provide a sensory feedback about distance information in the remotely controlled autonomous robot systems. The distance information to the target object, pointed by a laser pointer operated from remote place, is measured by triangular principle coupled with a CCD camera. In this research, force feedback is used, in order to display the distance information to an operator. As a result of this research, an operator can perform robot operation with a spatial feel. This paper evaluates and describes the relation between the force feedback patterns and distance recognition.
