It is an object of this invention to provide a tactile feedback apparatus for a remote control robot. Tactile data obtained during operation between a gripper attached to the arm of the robot and the gripper's target, is transferred to an operator stationed in a central control room. The tactile feedback apparatus enables a successive tactile control by use of an electromagnetic attraction, and an array of small size tactile feedback devices. This allows for sophisticated tasks to be performed.
