| Research Abstract |
In this research, we proposed a new concept of walking support system based on cooperation between wearable-type and wheel-type walking support systems. This system kept the balance of the user and transmitted his/her intention to the wearable walking support system by operating the wheel-type one, so that the system realized the walking support of the elderly and handicapped persons appropriately.
