| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed a tongue-operated joystick device with adjustable reaction force. In this device, the tip of joystick is supported by a elastic element which decides the reaction force against tongue operation. The reaction force is controlled by adjusting the length of the elastic element easily.
We confirmed three levels of the reaction forces werer perceived by human operator. Furthermore, we executed an experiment of control a mobile robot using the proposed joystick device. In this experiment, human operators were notified the existance of an obstacle thorugh the change in reaction force against their tongue operation and succeeded to avoid its collision .
