Abstract
We have developed an evaluation environment of the control device of a robot arm by computer simulation to realize the smart control device for the robot. Thus, a displacement input device, a joystick, a keypad, and a tactile sensor were evaluated according to the difference in size and operation method. For the simple pick and place task of the simulation, a keypad was the best performance. However, the evaluation task and control method of each device are to be improved. We describe the developed simulation system and the evaluation result.
