CONTROL APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD FOR MASTER-SLAVE ROBOT, MASTER-SLAVE ROBOT, CONTROL PROGRAM FOR MASTER-SLAVE ROBOT, AND INTEGRATED ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT FOR CONTROLLING MASTER-SLAVE ROBOT
A master motion information obtaining unit obtains at least one or more pieces of master motion information including a position, a posture, a speed, and an angular velocity of a master arm mechanism. A physical information obtaining unit obtains physical information of an operator including an arm weight of the operator. A master motion information correcting unit generates corrected master motion information where an amount of correction of the master motion information is corrected such that heavier the arm weight of the operator included in the physical information, larger a movement of a slave arm. A slave controller controls a slave arm mechanism, according to the corrected master motion information.
