The invention provides a robot-arm telemanipulating system that presents
an operator auditory information converted from a part of information on
operating status of the robot arm (hereinafter referred to as "telemetry
data") transmitted from a distant position from the operator, so that a
burden imposed on the operator can be alleviated.
The telemanipulating system comprises a sound source for simulatively
generating an operating sound of the robot arm under telemanipulation,
capable of variably controlling at least one of key, volume and tone of
the operating sound by sound source control data input from outside; a
telemetry data analyzing unit for analyzing telemetry data transmitted
from the robot arm, and controlling the sound source by generating sound
source controlling data corresponding to a load amount applied to the
robot arm; and an audio output unit for presenting the operator the
operating sound generated by the sound source in a form of auditory
information.
