Future Society Opened by Real Haptics

Abstract

　Real haptics has been a unsolved problem since its starting in 1940's. After many R&Ds including the early works in US and other countries, the bilateral control designed in acceleration space solves this issue. The quality of the touching and tactile sensation is heavily depends on transperancy between master side and slave side. The robust motion control which is equal to the acceleration control gives high transperancy. The real haptics is now key concept in 21st century where QOL should be the basis of the society. The various examples are also shown.
