| Research Abstract |
It is a very important social problem that a silver generation' s employment is secured in Japan. Therefore, our purpose is the construction of a power assistance system which can deal with a heavy load lightly in elderly people.
First, researchers assumed the human body was constructed by the rigid parts with 13 links, and developed the human force observer which estimated the applied force toward the environment by measuring acceleration of both arms, both legs, the body, and the head.
Next, the floor-reaction-force sensor, which could measure the human applied force to the floor, was build using the lamination rubber.
Finally, such technology was combined and it succeeded in moving a heavy load with a mass of 60 kg by the proposed power assistance system using the overhead traveling crane.
