JOINT CONTROLLER FOR CONTROLLING A BIPED ROBOT AND 3D(THREE-DIMENSIONAL) CHARACTERS, CAPABLE OF SMOOTHLY CONTROLLING THE WALKING BY MAPPING JOYSTICKS TO JOINTS

摘要

PURPOSE: A joint controller for controlling a biped robot and 3D(three-dimensional) characters is provided so that the moving angle difference between an actual robot and a 3D character is fed back to a joint controller and the angle of a joystick is corrected.;CONSTITUTION: A joint controller for controlling a biped robot and 3D(three-dimensional) characters comprises a plurality of joysticks. The moving angle of a robot or a character corresponds to one of the joysticks. A three-axis joystick is fixed to the left and the right of a lower case(150). Another three-axis joystick is fixed upside down to an upper case(160). Five joysticks are arranged to each upper case. Hand placing parts are attached and the legs, the upper bodies, fingers and face expressions of a biped robot and a 3D character are controlled by both hands. The moving angle of the robot or the 3D character is fed back from the robot or a PC to a joint controller and the movement of the joint is transferred by a micro step motor and a user can recognize the reactions of the robot and the 3D character in real time.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2011
