The joystick device includes a counterforce generator that generates operation counterforce via a stick that accepts manual operation. The counterforce controller includes a pulsed counterforce controller and/or a deviation counterforce controller. The pulsed counterforce controller calculates a time rate of change of a dynamic load value of the load object, and outputs a counterforce command signal indicating a counterforce command value for generating pulsed counterforce. The deviation counterforce controller calculates a deviation amount of a dynamic load value from a static load value, and outputs a counterforce command signal indicating a counterforce command value for generating a counterforce. Embodiments may be implemented as an auxiliary apparatus, which is attached to an existing remote handling apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9007629
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus receives distribution of information of a server device which manages an image output device as an input destination of a print job, and automatically registers the server device as an output destination of a printing instruction. A computer device, which issues a printing instruction via a network to cause an image output device to execute a print job, makes an acquisition request of device management information to be updated, to a computer management device which manages the device management information including information regarding an output destination of the printing instruction issued by the computer device, and acquires the device management information to be updated. The computer device registers a cloud service server device as the output destination of the printing instruction based on information regarding the cloud service server device included in the device management information to be updated.
