More Information
Summary:A device 9, such as a joystick, steering wheel or touch screen, for controlling a work machine has a handling device 2 with a hand placement region 4 and at least one haptic response element 3, which may be an electroactive polymer, piezo element or vibration element, within hand placement region 4. The work machine has a sensor and an actuator, and haptic element 3 may move or deform based on a process variable relating to operation of the work machine, for example based on a sensor detecting a force or load on the machine or actuator, or on a dimension of the machine or actuator or an obstacle near the machine.
