Abstract
The goal of this study is to develop a human interface that can display compliance for human hand aiming at the application in the field of virtual reality. Pneumatic parallel manipulator is introduced as a driving mechanism of our human interface, consequently, which yields characteristic that the manipulator works as a kind of elastic body even when its position/orientation is under the control. Using this elastic characteristic, a compliance display scheme is proposed. The validity of the proposed scheme is verified experimentally.
