The development of multiaxis hand controllers for use in telemanipulator systems in space is described. Experience in the control of the shuttle remote manipulator system is reviewed, together with subsequent tests involving a number of simulators and configurations, including use as a side arm flight control for helicopters. Factors affecting operator acceptability are reviewed. It is shown that six degrees of freedom controllers can be used naturally and effectively for tasks requiring dexterity and performance.
