| Research Abstract |
In this research, we focus on the rehabilitation of the relationship between the movement of gaze, head, and trunk and the whole body movement. From the previous researched, top-down anticipatory relationship of these components of whole body locomotion was predicted. We develop a model of the relationship using data by human observation, and implement on an electric driven wheelchair to construct a robotic system for patients with functional impairment.
