This study proposes an input interface which is capable of 6 Degrees of Freedom (6DoF) control by using oral movement.The hands-free interfaces which control 6 DoF are limited. The intraoral movements have precise and versatile movements.The interface consists of an intraoral and an extraoral link. The intraoral link includes a 3DoF joystick and the extraoral link includes a 9DoF IMU. This device allows the user to control external devices such as a mouse cursor and a robot arm by using the postural change of links. In this thesis, we introduce the design of an orally-manipulated input interface, the method of 6DoF measurement, and the performance evaluation in practical control applications.
