I am interested in finding out information on the development of 6 DOF joysticks by various people.  In particular , I am interested in the manner that the motions of the joystick are converted into a motion for the robot.  I know that JPL has been doing work in this area for many years but I have not been able to locate any papers that explicitily define this mapping process.  There is also a company called Kraft Teleoperation (I believe that is the name) that has a commercially available joystick.  Also,






 are the devices mentioned above generic in nature such that they can be used to control any robot, or are they restricted to robots of similiar kinematic structure?
Thanks for any ans all of your input!!!
