Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a touch panel display with an arm, a torque calculating unit calculates a torque to be loaded on a touch panel display based on a position acquired by a touch position information acquiring unit and a force acquired by a touch force information acquiring unit, and a stiffness parameter information generating unit generates information about a stiffness parameter for controlling an arm so that the position and the orientation of the touch panel display do not change based on the calculated torque. An arm control unit controls the arm based on the generated information about the stiffness parameter.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An arm control apparatus for controlling a position and an orientation of a touch panel display, the apparatus comprising: a touch position information acquiring unit that acquires a position on a screen of the touch panel display touched by a person; a touch force information acquiring unit that acquires a force on the screen touched by the person; a torque calculating unit that calculates a torque to be applied to the touch panel display based on the p…
