Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus and an information processing method that enable realization of haptic feedback that does not hinder the movement of an operator. The information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires change information indicating a change in physical quantity related to an operation target corresponding to extension or contraction of a muscle of a site in a body of a user, and a calculation unit that calculates an extension/contraction amount corresponding to the change in physical quantity on the basis of the change information.
Claims18
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a central processing unit (CPU) configured to:
- acquire a first extension/contraction amount of a muscle of a site in a body of a user from a plurality of sensors;
- control a motion of an operation target based on the acquired first extension/contraction amount of the muscle of the user, wherein
- the operation target is a remote-operated robot at a remote location from the user:
- acquire change information indicating a change in a physical quantity associated with the remote-operated robot, wherein
- the change information corresponds to at least one of an extension or a contraction of the muscle of the site in the body of the user;
- and
- calculate a second extension/contraction amount of the muscle corresponding to the change in the physical quantity associated with the remote-operated robot, based on the acquired change information of the remote-operated robot.
An information processing method, comprising:
- acquiring a first extension/contraction amount of a muscle of a site in a body of a user from a plurality of sensors;
- controlling a motion of an operation target based on the acquired first extension/contraction amount of the muscle of the user, wherein
- the operation target is a remote-operated robot at a remote location from the user;
- acquiring change information that indicates a change in a physical quantity associated with the motion of the remote-operated robot, wherein
- the change information is based on a displacement in the muscle of the site in the body of the user;
- and
- calculating a second extension/contraction amount of the muscle corresponding to the change in the physical quantity associated with the remote-operated robot, based on the acquired change information of the remote-operated robot.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- acquiring a first extension/contraction amount of a muscle of a site in a body of a user from a plurality of sensors;
- controlling a motion of an operation target based on the acquired first extension/contraction amount of the muscle of the user, wherein
- the operation target is a remote-operated robot at a remote location from the user;
- acquiring change information indicating a change in a physical quantity associated with the motion of the remote-operated robot, wherein
- the change information is based on a displacement in the muscle of the site in the body of the user;
- and
- calculating a second extension/contraction amount of the muscle corresponding to the change in the physical quantity associated with the remote-operated robot, based on the acquired change information of the remote-operated robot.
