Abstract
A master device for generating motion instruction of the slave robot by sensing motion of the arm with fixed to the arm of the operator, and reflecting motion limit information by external force and physical articulation limit sensed by the robot may be simplified in a serial chain configuration so to solve problems of human fatigue and operational complexity in order to minimize dead weight of units mounted to the arm by concentrating and positioning the cylindrical rotating shaft members (44 and 45) near the body.
