| Research Abstract |
In recent years, a robotic technology which can support the motor skills of frail elderly or physically handicapped people is expected. The implementation of that technology, however, requires the following technical components : (1) the deep knowledge of human motor control ; (2) the advanced robot control to meet real-time processing, environmental adaptability, and safety requirements. Using our knowledge of human motor skill and robot technologies ((1) timing control with real-time adaptability and (2) artificial muscle as a next-generation actuator), we developed the skill-assist robots which have a high affinity with human. The developed robots are useful to enhance human-motor skill.
