Abstract

A master-side device for remotely manipulating a slave-side device includes a manipulator having a range of movement and used to manipulate a movable part of the slave-side device, and control processing circuitry that performs processing of determining a correspondence relationship between an amount of a manipulation of the manipulator and an amount of movement of the movable part, and controls the movable part in response to the manipulation of the manipulator, based on the correspondence relationship.

Claims (34)

1 . A master-side device for remotely manipulating a slave-side device, the master-side device comprising:

a manipulator having a range of movement and used to manipulate a movable part of the slave-side device; and

control processing circuitry configured to at least:

perform processing of determining a correspondence relationship between an amount of a manipulation of the manipulator and an amount of movement of the movable part, and

control the movable part in response to the manipulation of the manipulator, based on the correspondence relationship.

2 . The master-side device according to claim 1 , wherein the correspondence relationship comprises a relationship between the amount of the manipulation of the manipulator and an amount of movement of turning of the movable part in a pan direction and between the amount of the manipulation of the manipulator and an amount of movement of turning of the movable part in a pitch direction.

3 . The master-side device according to claim 2 , wherein the correspondence relationship is a relationship between the amount of the manipulation of the manipulator and an amount of movement of turning of the movable part in a roll direction.

4 . The master-side device according to claim 1 , wherein the correspondence relationship is a relationship between the amount of the manipulation of the manipulator and an amount of movement of turning of the movable part in a roll direction.

5 . The master-side device according to claim 1 , wherein the control processing circuitry performs display processing for selection of the correspondence relationship.

6 . The master-side device according to claim 5 , comprising a display, wherein the control processing circuitry performs the display processing to control the display to display a screen including a selection field that allows the selection of the correspondence relationship, and

wherein the correspondence relationship is determined in response to an operation on the selection field.

7 . The master-side device according to claim 6 , wherein the control processing circuitry is configured to arrange the selection field including an option in which the amount of movement of the movable part is larger than the amount of the manipulation of the manipulator.

8 . The master-side device according to claim 6 , wherein the control processing circuitry is configured to arrange the selection field including an option in which the amount of the movement of the movable part is smaller than the amount of the manipulation of the manipulator.

9 . The master-side device according to claim 1 , wherein the correspondence relationship comprises a ratio of the amount of the movement of the movable part to the amount of the movement of the manipulator.

10 . A master-side device for remotely manipulating a slave-side device, the master-side device comprising:

a manipulator being movable through a range of movement, the manipulator having a linkage to the slave-side device that allows a movable part of the slave-side device to be manipulated by a movement of the manipulator; and

control processing circuitry configured to at least:

determine a correspondence relationship between an amount of the movement of the manipulator and an amount of movement of the movable part, and

control the movable part to move in response to the movement of the manipulator, based on the correspondence relationship.

11 . The master-side device according to claim 10 , wherein the correspondence relationship comprises a relationship between the amount of the movement of the manipulator and an amount of movement of the movable part in a pan direction.

12 . The master-side device according to claim 11 , wherein the correspondence relationship comprises a relationship between the amount of the movement of the manipulator and an amount of movement of the movable part in a pitch direction.

13 . The master-side device according to claim 12 , wherein the correspondence relationship comprises a relationship between the amount of the movement of the manipulator and an amount of movement of the movable part in a roll direction.

14 . The master-side device according to claim 10 , wherein the correspondence relationship comprises a relationship between the amount of the movement of the manipulator and an amount of movement of the movable part in a pitch direction.

15 . The master-side device according to claim 10 , wherein the correspondence relationship comprises a relationship between the amount of the movement of the manipulator and an amount of movement of the movable part in a roll direction.

16 . The master-side device according to claim 10 , further comprising a display,

wherein the control processing circuitry controls the display to display a screen for selecting the correspondence relationship, and

wherein the correspondence relationship is determined in response to a selection of the correspondence relationship.

17 . The master-side device according to claim 10 , wherein the correspondence relationship comprises a ratio of the amount of the movement of the movable part to the amount of the movement of the manipulator.

18 . The master-side device according to claim 10 , wherein corresponding relationship indicates that the amount of the movement of the movable part is larger than the amount of the movement of the manipulator.

19 . A master-side device for remotely manipulating a slave-side device, the master-side device comprising:

a manipulator being movable through a range of movement, the manipulator having a linkage to the slave-side device that allows a movable part of the slave-side device to be manipulated by a movement of the manipulator; and

control processing circuitry configured to at least:

determine a ratio between an amount of the movement of the manipulator and an amount of movement of the movable part, the amount of movement of the movable part being greater than the amount of the movement of the manipulator, and

control the movable part to move in response to the movement of the manipulator, based on the ratio.
