Abstract: Implementations relate to control switch position sensing across a rotational joint. In some implementations, a control input device includes a base member and a roll member rotatable about a central axis with respect to the base member in a roll degree of freedom. A switch contact portion is rotatable with the roll member and moveable to multiple positions in a switch degree of freedom. A first sensor element is coupled to and moveable with the switch contact portion and can be a passive element. A base sensor element is coupled to the base member and configured to sense a proximity of the first sensor element to the base sensor element, and to output a signal indicative of a current position of the switch contact portion in the switch degree of freedom independently of a rotational orientation of the roll member in the roll degree of freedom.

Abstract: Implementations relate to capacitive sensing of hand presence at a control input device. In some implementations, a control input device includes a support structure, a handle moveable in one or more degrees of freedom with reference to the support structure, and a capacitive sensor circuit electrically coupled to the handle. The handle is isolated from electrical ground and is an antenna for the capacitive sensor circuit.

Abstract: Implementations relate to actuated grips for a controller. In some implementations, a controller includes a central member, a grip member coupled to the central member and moveable in a grip degree of freedom, a shaft coupled to the grip member, and an actuator coupled to the shaft and operative to output an actuator force on the shaft. The actuator force causes a grip force to be applied via the shaft to the grip member in the grip degree of freedom.

Abstract: Implementations relate to hand presence sensing at a control input device. In some implementations, a control input device includes a base member, a handle coupled to the base member and configured to be manually contacted at a grip portion of the handle and moved by a hand of a user in one or more degrees of freedom, one or more control input sensors configured to detect positions or orientations of the handle in the one or more degrees of freedom, and a presence sensor coupled to the base member. The presence sensor has a sensing field, and at least a portion of the sensing field is located proximate to the handle.
