  • Remote controller that generates force feedback using electromagnets
    Patent number: 10637713
    Abstract: Provided is a remote controller for controlling an object placed in a remote location. The remote controller may include: a communication interface configured to form a communication channel with the object; an operator including an input interface configured to receive a user input, and at least one first magnet; a movement sensor configured to detect a movement of the operator generated by the user input, and measure characteristics of the movement of the operator; at least one second magnet disposed around the first magnet; a controller configured to, in response to the detection of the movement, apply a current to at least one of the first magnet and the second magnet to generate a magnetic force applied to the operator, wherein the controller is further configured to adjust the current to change the magnetic force according to the measured characteristics of the movement of the operator.
