Bilateral control, a remote-control technique, is used to work at a distance. However, many existing bilateral control systems have two common problems: 1) it is difficult to create a system like a human hand, that has multiple degrees of freedom and 2) if the mechanism becomes too complicated, operators feel restrained and experience discomfort. Because, for these reasons, the bilateral control of fingers has not been accomplished to date, we aimed to overcome this by applying functional electrical stimulation (FES). In our experiments, through an adhesive electrode pad, electrical stimulation was delivered to the muscles that flex and expand the metacarpophalangeal joints of the thumb and middle finger. Position-symmetrical bilateral control was implemented so that the deviation of the master's and slave's positions relative to each other was zero degrees. A sliding mode controller was used as a position controller. We found it possible to control multiple degrees of freedom; however, we found areas where the number of tracking errors was large. We speculated that the middle finger did not bend, because the arm rotates as the thumb was abduction, therefore the position of the motor point of the middle finger deviates from the position of the pad.
