| Research Abstract |
Recently, in the super-aged society in Japan, exoskeletons are developed in many ways to support works and activities of elderly people. However, in present, exoskeletons are used in particular situation even though in rehabilitation field because process to put on exoskeletons takes long time, uncomfortableness to wear, and high cost. In this research, we tried to develop a clothes-type robot to ease the process to put on it and to comfort wearing. The clothes-type robot includes shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator to support lifting up the host's lower limb. We set a movement to climb stairs by paralyzed patients as a target, and tried to develop hardware and software.
