Abstract
Recently, the input devices, using the touch panel and the acceleration sensor, which achieve intuitive operation and offering enjoyment attract attention. On the other hand, joysticks are used as popular input device of mobile robots. They are superior in the point of efficient operation, but there is a limitation when thinking about other point of view like the enjoyment etc. In this research, we newly developed a pedal type input device to achieve intuitive operation and offer enjoyment for controlling mobile robots.
