A tactile feedback apparatus using an electromagnetic attraction for a remote control robot employs tactile data obtained during operation between a gripper attached to a robot arm of an externally controlled robot and the gripper's target so as to be transferred to an operator stationed in a central control room, thereby enabling the robot system to effectively carry out sophisticated tasks. The tactile feedback apparatus enables a successive tactile control by use of an electromagnetic attraction, and an array type fabrication, and by optimizing a production design to broaden a tactile feedback area, there may be provided a small tactile feedback device for representing a relatively improved tactility per unit, and further by aligning the tactile feedback devices in a 5.times.5 array mode on a skin of 15.times.15 mm.sup.2, there is obtained a contact location thereof.
A tactile feedback apparatus using an electromagnetic attraction for a remote control robot, comprising:
A tactile feedback apparatus using an electromagnetic attraction for a remote control robot, comprising:
A tactile feedback apparatus using an electromagnetic attraction for a remote control robot, wherein a magnetic field induced in accordance with a current supply from a tactile feedback device driving circuit to a wound coil passes through a fixed plunger and flows along an outer periphery of a shell and then comes to a movable plunger spaced by a certain distance from said fixed plunger, and a lower end of said fixed plunger and an upper end of said movable plunger differ in polarity from each other so that said movable plunger is attracted and abutted onto said fixed plunger, and at this time a pin attached to said movable plunger moves through said fixed plunger, thereby delivering a tactility to a skin positioned adjacent to said pin;
