Abstract
Control sticks are often used in man-machine system. To increase performance of the operation, maneuverability of the stick needs to be evaluated and improved. In this paper, maneuverability indexes for the control stick are proposed considering characteristics of muscles. Using an electromyogram, by which muscle forces can be measured, we examine the effectiveness of the indexes experimentally. As a result, it is shown that the indexes can completely indicate the maneuverability in low frequency tracking operation of the stick.Keywords
