Outline of Final Research Achievements

A wearable training system was developed. The system consists of two devices: a device to measure the movement of arm joint motion of the skilled subject, and another device to train unskilled subject using the measured motion data. Both devices are designed around the parallel link mechanism, so that complex human joint motion is captured.
Wrist joint motion was measured, and master training data was generated. Unskilled subjects were successfully trained based on this data.
