Touch sense interface and method for controlling touch sense interface

A touch sense interface comprising:

• an arm mechanism including a plurality of active arm joints and an arm connected between the active arm joints;
• a touch sense finger base connected to one of the active arm joints;
• a plurality of touch sense fingers arranged on the touch sense finger base, wherein the touch sense fingers each have a plurality of active finger joints, including a first active finger joint, that are connected to the touch sense finger base;
• a plurality of links connected between the active finger joints;
• a fingertip engaging portion arranged on a distal end of one of the links to engage a fingertip of a corresponding finger of an operator;
• a first detection unit for detecting the position and posture of a hand of the operator to generate a position and posture detection signal;
• a control unit electrically connected to the first detection unit, wherein the control unit controls the active arm joint in accordance with the position and posture detection signal and arranges the touch sense finger base opposed to the hand of the operator;
• and
• a second detection unit electrically connected to the control unit to detect the movement of each fingertip and generate a movement detection signal, wherein the control unit controls the active finger joints of each touch sense finger in accordance with the movement detection signal.
