Abstract

Provided is a force conveyance system that is configured to have 6 degrees of freedom, thereby allowing freedom of movement such as opening/closing of a hand and adduction/abduction of a finger and reflecting a desired force to a fingertip without obstructing the movement of a finger. Also, the force conveyance system may estimate a fingertip position and a finger joint angle, measure a finger movement, and convey a more accurate force accordingly.
