Abstract
Recently, some power assistance systems are developed to help human daily life. Such systems directly reinforce man's physical strength mainly to assist elder people. Unlike such attitude, we suggest different concept to expand man's physical body. More specifically, we are considering third arm. If we obtain the third arm and control it smoothly, new motions can be generated and impossible tasks get possible. In this paper, we developed interface to control a robot arm as our third arm. This interface is a controller device input by human mouse motion, because mouse is a body part having high degree of freedom next to hands. In the experiment, we controlled the actual robot arm using our developed interface. Finally it was confirmed that our proposed interface works effectively.
