To provide a force feedback device that can provide force feedback to the operator even when the operator is not performing any actions. [Solution] The force feedback device 1 comprises a power output device 2 having a motor 21 and a power output unit 25 that outputs power generated by the motor 21, a first mounting unit 5 that is attached to a part of the operator's body, a holding member 4 that holds the power output device 2 at a predetermined position on the operator's body, and a transmission mechanism 3 that transmits the power output by the power output unit 25 to the first mounting unit 5. The transmission mechanism 3 has a flexible member 31 that transmits power in the longitudinal direction. The flexible member 31 is displaced in the longitudinal direction by the power output by the power output unit 25 and / or by the operation of the first mounting unit 5. The transmission mechanism 3 further has a support member 33 that slidably supports the flexible member while maintaining the distance between the flexible member 31 and the operator's body.

The present invention relates to systems and methods for autonomous control of overrunning devices. In an example, a system is described that includes a control lever for controlling operation of a device, a first actuator coupled to the control lever via a rod, and a resettable frangible link coupling a second actuator to the control lever via the rod. Based on a force applied to the rod by the first actuator, the resettable frangible link enables decoupling of the second actuator from the control lever.

A drone control apparatus for cargo-weight expansion using a plurality of connected drones, of the present invention, comprises a controller synchronization unit, which synchronizes a plurality of individual controller sticks for controlling the respective drones, thereby enabling the plurality of drones to be integrally controlled with one from among a plurality of individual controllers.

To provide a pedal device for suppressing intrusion of foreign matters into an elastic member.SOLUTION: A pedal device 1 includes a pedal 10 for rotating centering around a rotary shaft O by stepping-down of an operator, an elastic member of a reaction force generation mechanism 60 for generating reaction force to the stepping-down of the operator by being deformed by force from the pedal 10 when the pedal 10 is rotated, a housing 40 for supporting the pedal to make the pedal rotatable and forming a housing space 412 being a space for housing the elastic member, and a support member 80 for supporting the elastic member. The housing 40 has an opening part 418 forming an opening space 420 being a space defined by being opened in one direction, the opening space 420 communicates with the housing space 412, and the elastic member is surrounded by the housing 40 and the support member 80 because the support member 80 closes the opening space 420 due to the connection of the housing 40 and the support member 80.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

This machine includes a base member, a first actuator, a second actuator, a connector, a first frame, a second frame, and a third frame. The first actuator has a first output shaft that moves along the first direction. The second actuator has a second output shaft that moves along the second direction. The first frame has a first proximal end where a first joint is disposed and a first distal end where the second joint is disposed. The second frame has a second proximal end connected to the first distal end via the second joint, and a second distal end where a third joint is disposed. The third frame has a third proximal end and a third distal end, and the third distal end is connected to the second output shaft of the second actuator.

The invention relates to an operating device (10) with an externally pressable control element (18), a sensor unit (20) comprising a sensor element and an associated pressure unit (24), wherein the pressure unit (24) has a pressure chamber in a receiving housing (28) which is mechanically coupled to the control element (18) so that when pressure is applied to the control element (18), the pressure is transmitted to the receiving housing (28), the pressure chamber being filled with a medium, and wherein the sensor element is arranged relative to the medium such that it detects the pressure of the medium or a change in a physical property of the medium when pressure is applied. The invention further relates to a vehicle steering wheel with the operating device (10).

A manual activation system includes a housing and a pulley arranged within the housing. The pulley is movable between an inactive position and an active position. A tension member is wrapped about the pulley and has a tensile force acting on the pulley. At least one link arm is rotatably mounted within the housing. The at least one link arm is operably coupled to the pulley to selectively oppose the tensile force acting on the pulley.

A piloting device for piloting an aircraft includes a first and a second control stick movably mounted on a support, a detection system for detecting the positions of the first and second control sticks, an elastic mechanism configured to apply a restoring force to the second control stick, first and second actuation systems configured to apply respective first and second position adjustment forces to the respective first and second control sticks, and a control module configured to control the second adjustment force so that the positions of the first and second control sticks are identical. The control module is configured to control the first adjustment force based on the second adjustment force and the restoring force.

The invention relates to an apparatus (1) having a movable transmission element (2) and having an actuator device (300) for precisely influencing the movability of the transmission element (2). The actuator device (300) comprises a magnetorheological brake device (301) for producing a braking torque which acts on the transmission element (2) and a drive device (302) for producing a torque which acts on the transmission element (2). The brake device (301) and the drive device (302) are arranged between at least two bearing points (315, 325) of a bearing device (305), accommodated axially adjacent to each other within a common receiving structure (303).

A portable tool having an elongate frame with a front-to-rear lengthwise axis. The portable tool is configured to be held in a starting orientation, wherein the lengthwise axis of the frame extends substantially horizontally, with a user's hands separately engaging the portable tool at a first region and a second region forwardly of the first region. The portable tool has: a) a gripping assembly at the second region; and b) an engaging structure at the first region and including a handle with a gripping length that extends along a gripping line. The handle is connected to the frame and configured so that with the portable tool in the starting orientation and the handle in a first position: i) the handle gripping line makes an angle of no more than 15° with a horizontal reference plane containing the lengthwise axis of the elongate frame; and ii) a space is formed between the gripping length and the elongate frame to accommodate fingers on the user's one hand with the user's one hand grasping the gripping length.
