A study of a new controller interface for omnidirecitonal robots

In the case of operating omnidirectional robots, typical controller interfaces, which are for wheeled robots, cannot be used because it requires the use of human hands in order to operate three DOF. Therefore, we are trying to develop a controller interface most suitable for omnidirectional robots. This paper will discuss and compare the operability of multiple-axes joystick controllers and a pair of two-axes joystick controllers.
