This patent presents a system for controlling an apparatus, such as a robot, aircraft, or aircraft simulator.

The handle pivots about a fulcrum which substantially corresponds to a point of intersection of the axes. Appropriate force sensors connected to the handle can influence the movement of the guide elements.
