Abstract
In recent years, for the purpose of a power assist and walk assistance of an elderly person, the person with a disability, rehabilitation support, various wearing type robots have been developed. Those robots almost form an external skeleton along a frame of the human body. Although the external skeleton mechanism has an advantage in that the robotic mechanism is supported by the external skeleton. On the other hand, adjustment mechanism is necessary, and the weight of the robot increases. In this study, we propose a light weight and flexible "Robotic Wear" using the skeletal system of the human body without having an external skeleton mechanism.
