Development of Force Control Unit using Linear Actuator having Two Step Driving Modes for Rehabilitation, Training and Care Support

Abstract

Recent years, Japan is facing a “Super Aging Society”. To realize care prevention, various rehabilitation and training machines are developing. In this research, we try to control a linier drive actuator having two step operation modes depending on the load of the actuator, using adaptive learning force controller. We propose a training unit using two proposed linear actuators. The results of metering experiments using proposed equipment has shown.
