Outline of Final Research Achievements

Community support system according to each user’s personal attribute is important factor for safety and security and quality of life. Therefore, I focused on revitalizing of healthy elderly people physically and mentally, and supporting mutual assistance community by using user-model and functional design approach. As one of the achievement, I proposed methods; robot control support system according physiological attribute, and walking support system according physical attribute. I implemented the proposed method for a wheelchair robot, and evaluated the effectiveness.
