    The document discusses the Space mouse, a 3D controller developed by the DLR Institute of Robotics & Mechatronics. The Space mouse allows users to intuitively manipulate and control objects in 3D environments using six degrees of freedom. It serves as an improved interface between humans and machines, building upon earlier controllers like the DLR controller ball through its use of mechatronics and multisensory technologies. The Space mouse provides precise, fatigue-free control of 3D applications through fingertip operation of its nine programmable buttons.

    Abstract

    ou se
    a c e m
    Sp
    3-d
    Space mouse is developed by DLR
    institute of robotics & mechatronics.
    Space mouse-a professional 3-d
    controller.
    Manipulate objects in a 3-d environment.
    Serves as an intuitive man-machine
    interface.
    permits the simultaneous control of all six
    degrees of freedom – translation,rotation
    or a combination
    BEFORE…
     Predecessor of space mouse is DLR(Deutsches
    Zenturum far Luft-und Raumfahrt) controller ball.
     2 dimensional mouse which detects motion in X-
    Y plane.
     Main goal-translate motion of our hands into
    signals that a computer can use.
     Almost all mice do translation using 5
    components.
    1. A ball inside the mouse
    touches the desktop and rolls
    when the mouse moves.
    2.The rollers that touch the ball
    and detect X and Y motion
    3.When roller rolls, its shaft
    and disk spin.
    4.There is an infrared LED (clear) on
    one side of the disk and an infrared
    sensor (red) on the other
    5.a small processor that reads the pulses coming from the infrared
    sensors and turns them into bytes sent to the computer .
    3-d user interface

    3-d display is a misnomer.


    Ground breaking interface
    helps us to zoom,pan,rotate
    every angle.
     Commonly used in
    a. science fiction
    b. Movies
    c. File system navigator.
    d. Computer aided design.
     Uses principal of mechatronics and multisensory
    concept.

     Mechatronics-->(design automation+performance of
    electromechanical systems).
    its basic idea is for new level of performance from
    device.
    ---by cost effective technology to improve product
    and process performance, adaptability and flexibility
     It is simply the applications of latest techniques in
    mechanical engg., electronic and comp. control,
    computing systems & sensor and actuator technology
    to design improved products and processes.

     Mechatronics=(Mech engg .+Electronic engg.


    +computing)

     A typical Mechatronic system picks up signals processes


    them and generates forces and motion as an output.
     Mechatronics means fact of technical systems operating
    mechanically with some electronics supporting mechanical device.

     covers wide range of application areas like-


    a) consumer product design,
    b) instrumentation,
    c) manufacturing methods,
    d) computer integration and process
    e) and device control
    MULTISENSORY-aim is to design a new generation of
    multi sensory lightweight robots.

     New sensor and actuator generation does not only show


    up a high degree of electronic and processor integration
    but also fully modular hardware and software structures.

     Helps in generating 6-degree of freedom hand


    controllers (3-translational + 3-rotational)

    • Table-1 Technical Specifications


     Ease of use of manipulating objects in 3D
    applications.
     Calibration free sensor technology for high
    precision and unique reliability.
     Nine programmable buttons to customize
    users preference for motion control
     Fingertip operation for maximum precision
    and performance.
     Settings to adjust sensitivity and motion
    control to the users preference.
     Double productivity of object manipulation in 3D
    applications.
     Natural hand position (resting on table)
    eliminates fatigue.
    Benefits----
     necessity of going back and forth to the menu is
    eliminated.
     Drawing times is reduced by 20%-30% increasing
    overall productivity.
