Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we developed a passive motion support system consisting of multiple wires with servo brakes to assist human motion in the field of sports training. The wire-type motion support system has a large operating range and can be operated at high speed because of its low inertia. In addition, it is controlled by servo brakes, so that the system is very safe.　We theoretically considered the feasible braking control region of the passive system and designed a novel control method for guiding the human motion. We illustrated the validity of the system through the experiments with developed system.
