About half of the patients with spinal cord injuries in Japan have cervical spinal cord injury. Particularly, for patients with high-level spinal cord injury, it is difficult for them to search or pick up objects from the floor due to trunk dysfunctions. Recently, welfare robot arms of self-reliance supporting functions are being developed for them. In this study, we proposed an operating system that includes an eye in hand system with a touch panel interface for grasping the object from the floor. In the proposed method, the visual information of the target objects is shown in the touch panel interface. The patient could specify the target position of the robot arm by drawing a line on the target object on the interface.
