Abstract
Some support devices are currently being developed. But there is problem that it is difficult to reflect the intuitive intention. There is a method as a way to resolve this issue, using the surface line electric potential that is a living body signal. This study aims at the development of the technique that reflects the intuitive intention of the wearing person by using surface EMG for the movement support device of the elbow joint. We use Neural Networks and the surface EMG to determine the behavior of the elbow. Then, We control the power assist device considering the magnitude of the surface EMG
