| Abstract | (in Japanese) | (See Japanese page) |
| (in English) | In a research area of power assist device, it has been tried to estimate information about users' intended motion from electromyogram (EMG) and to use this information for assisting. But improving handleability of this device while posture maintenance haven't been tried. In this research, we propose and examine a new assisting method that doesn't disturb posture maintenance by users. By our method, power assist devices estimate equilibrium points and stiffness from users' EMG and amplify only stiffness with equilibrium points kept untouched. We implemented this method in an experimental power assist device for a wrist and verified that this method is effective for stabilization of posture maintenance. | |
