Abstract:
1. An arm control apparatus for controlling a position and an orientation of a touch panel display, the apparatus comprising: a touch position information acquiring unit that acquires a position on a screen of the touch panel display touched by a person; a touch force information acquiring unit that acquires a force on the screen touched by the person; a torque calculating unit that calculates a torque to be applied to the touch panel display based on the position acquired by the touch position information acquiring unit and the force acquired by the touch force information acquiring unit; a stiffness parameter information generating unit that generates information about a stiffness parameter for controlling the arm so that the position and the orientation of the touch panel display do not change based on the torque calculated by the torque calculating unit; and an arm control unit that controls the arm based on the information about the stiffness parameter generated by the stiffness parameter information generating unit.
