Abstract
An operation device receives an operation which an operator has carried out in order to move an operation target. The operation device includes an operation section, a first member, a second member, and a force sensor. The operation section is capable of being subjected to one or both of a tilting operation and a rotating operation. The first member is mechanically connected to the operation section and is displaced in accordance with an amount of operation by the operation section. The second member stops the first member at a predetermined stop position. The force sensor detects, while the second member is stopping the first member, a force or moment which is applied to the second member.
