Abstract
We presented a new application of humanoid robots as an evaluator of assistive devices, to reduce the burden of tests with human subjects. Taking the supportive wear "Smart Suit" designed to relieve the load at lower back as an example, we have conducted pilot experiments by using the humanoid robot HRP-4C. We showed the basic feasibility of this application as we observed a clear decrease of the torque at the torso joint with the wear.
