| Research Abstract |
First of all, we have developed a wearable sensor system which are able to measure time-series data about the load applied to the body, the acceleration of the foot, the inclination of the foot and the angle of the ankle joint and the knee joint. In addition, we manufactured various kinds of walking surfaces, those are inclination loads, stairs, gravel road and sandy road. Then, a total of 30 healthy subjects were walking in order to get data while wearing a wearable sensor system. By analyzing those data, we produced an algorithm to identify what might be pedestrian state(walking mode).
