Abstract
A learning-type movement control apparatus that learns the movement of an operation control device, predicts the movement thereof, and drives it so as to automatically move. The apparatus comprises an operation control device having a predetermined portion that is displaced according to a force exerted in an arbitrary direction, outputs the amount of the displacement at least as one-dimensional position-representing information, receives a feedback signal carrying information generated by adding displacement information to the position-representing information, and drives the predetermined portion according to a direction and a displacement that are based on the feedback signal. The apparatus also includes a learning section that receives the position-representing information and performs learning of the movement of the operation control device. The apparatus further includes a predicting section that performs prediction of a displacement of the operation control device according to the position-representing information the learning result of the learning section, and generates the feedback signal by adding the displacement information to the position-representing information.
