Abstract: A robot system (100) includes a slave unit (1) including a slave arm (11) having a working end (11a), a slave arm actuator (13) configured to drive the slave arm, and a slave-side controller (14) configured to control the slave arm actuator based on a slave operating command for defining a target position of the working end, a master unit (2) including a master arm (21) having a manipulation end (21a) into which the content of manipulation is inputted by an operator, and a system controller (3) configured to generate the slave operating command based on the content of manipulation inputted into the manipulation end. When a command corresponding to the content of manipulation is a command corresponding to a limit equivalent range corresponding to a limit of operation of at least one of the slave arm and the master arm, the system controller performs processing to give perception to the operator.

Abstract: A robot system includes a master robot, a slave robot, a controller configured or programmed to control movement of the slave robot based on an operation on the master robot, a clutch operator to temporarily release the slave robot from following the master robot, and a position return operator to return a positional relationship of the master robot with respect to the slave robot to a standard state. The controller is configured or programmed to perform a control to move at least one of the master robot or the slave robot such that a position of the master robot matches a position of the slave robot based on an operation on the position return operator.

Abstract: A robot system includes a slave unit including a slave arm having a working end, a slave arm actuator configured to drive the slave arm, and a slave-side controller configured to control the slave arm actuator based on a slave operating command for defining a target position of the working end, a master unit including a master arm having a manipulation end into which the content of manipulation is inputted by an operator, and a system controller configured to generate the slave operating command based on the content of manipulation inputted into the manipulation end.

Abstract: A manipulation device and a manipulation system of a simpler configuration. A manipulation device includes an input part configured to receive an input of an operational instruction by an operator in order to operate a manipulating target, and a speaker configured to receive a signal based on vibration detected at the manipulating target and generate vibration based on the received signal. The vibration generated by the speaker is transmitted to the operator through at least a part of the input part.
