Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In recent years, the development of technologies that extend physical human capabilities has been progressing rapidly. Since the effectiveness of these technologies depends on collaboration of humans and machines, the extension of human physical capabilities does not occur unless both the human and the assisting machine components move appropriately to enable collaboration. This research investigated the responses and adaptations of humans when external physical forces are provided to assist a human motion. Based on our findings, we have written and published a report on “Assistive Technology Considering Human Characteristics: Design guidelines for power assistance” (available online).
