An input device includes a handle coupled to a base by a linkage. The handle is manually movable relative to the base to provide a position input. The linkage has a plurality of links including a redundant link that permits internal motion of the linkage such that the linkage can move without moving the handle relative to the base. When a distance between the handle and a handle stop position is less than a threshold distance, a handle stop applies a first load to the handle. A drive system applies a second load to the redundant link responsive to the first load to create internal motion of the linkage that increases a distance between the handle and a handle stop position. The second load may be proportional to a cosine of an angle between a handle axis of motion and a redundant link axis of motion.

1. An input device comprising: a base;a handle manually movable relative to the base to provide a position input;a linkage coupling the handle to the base, the linkage having a plurality of links including a redundant link that permits internal motion of the linkage such that the linkage can move without moving the handle relative to the base;a handle stop that applies a first load to the handle to push the handle away from a handle stop position when a distance between the handle and the handle stop position is less than a threshold distance; anda linkage drive system coupled to the redundant link, the linkage drive system to apply a second load to the redundant linkage responsive to the first load, the second load creating internal motion of the linkage such that the distance between the handle and the handle stop position is increased. 2. The input device of claim 1, wherein the first load increases as the distance between the handle and the handle stop position decreases. 3. The input device of claim 2, wherein the first load increases as a velocity of the handle toward the handle stop position increases and decreases as the velocity of the handle away from the handle stop position increases. 4. The input device of claim 2, wherein the second load applied to the redundant linkage by the drive system is sufficient to create the internal motion necessary to reduce the first load applied to the handle and to overcome friction in the linkage. 5. The input device of claim 2, wherein the handle moves with respect to a first axis, the redundant link moves with respect to a second axis, and the second load is proportional to a cosine of an angle between the first axis and the second axis. 6.
