We have participated in the METI project, “Humanoid Robotics Project (HRP)”, and aimed to apply the humanoid robot to the personal care service field, such as hospitals for the elderly. In our application we control the robot as follows: In ordinary situation the robot does the pre-determined task by control command, and in extraordinary situation an operator controls the robot by tele-operation at the remote site. This paper describes our developed tele-operation system, which is small-sized and enables the operator to smoothly grasp an object and hand it over to human.
