| Research Abstract |
When a human drinks something of a cup, the correlation between the tilted angles of the head and the grasped cup was high, and this characteristic can lead to smooth motions by avoiding a collision between the nose and the cup edge. Due to the fact that drinking motion includes the head tilting actions, the existed operation method with a jaw is regarded as an improper. Here, the novel interface was developed for the disabled persons to operate a drink support system by their own physical ability. This system provided an available operation by using the open/close actions of the mouth and the face orientations, after a several practices.
