多自由度制御を可能とする棒型口腔インタフェース

抄録

This study proposes an input interface which is capable of multi Degrees of Freedom (multi-DoF) control for the device including mouse cursor and a robot by using oral movement of user.The typical hands-free interfaces such as eye tracking system which control multi-DoF are limited at the point of involuntary contorol. 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 for detecting fine and discrete inputs such as pressing buttons and the extraoral link includes a 9DoF IMU for capturing gross and continuous movements of the interface such as sway and rotation. In this paper, we introduce the design of orally-manipulated input interface, the method of multi-DoF measurement, and the performance evaluation in practical control applications and biting detection.
