Abstract: In a movement control apparatus manipulation can be carried out while watching the movement of the moving body, without needing to watch one's hands, so even a novice operator can perform the manipulation easily, safely, reliably, and quickly. The apparatus can include a signal transmission cable, a casing of a manipulation remote controller disposed at one end of the cable, a rotary encoder that produces a signal corresponding to the direction of the casing, and a motor drive control circuit that is disposed on the other side of the cable and controls the movement of a moving body on the basis of a signal corresponding to the direction of the casing. The signal corresponding to the direction of the casing can be supplied from the rotary encoder, through the cable, to the motor drive control circuit.

Abstract: The present invention provides techniques relating to an operating device exhibiting superior dust resistance and water resistance, and more particularly to an operating device exhibiting few design restrictions and a small assembly operation load, and to a moving apparatus including the operating device. In an operating device having, in a casing, a detection unit for detecting input relating to an instruction to operate a driving device that drives movement of an object, a plurality of the detection units are arranged over a partial or entire range of a circumference of the casing in accordance with movement directions of the object.

Abstract: A manipulation apparatus that directs an operation of a drive device utilized in the movement of an object by changing a turning amount or reference direction of relative turning between a first housing and a second housing, wherein the first housing and second housing are in close proximity to each other along the turning axis of the relative turning, and each comprise an outer peripheral face having substantially the same diameter around the turning axis of the relative turning or having a substantially circular cross section perpendicular to the turning axis of the relative turning at this proximal position or nearby, and an indicator for indicating, in a mode that is visible by an operator, information related to the turning amount or turning direction of the relative turning is provided to each of the outer peripheral faces of the first housing and the second housing.
