Abstract

In recent years, Japan faces the issues of a super-aging society, population decrease and shortage of young workers. A robot that contact with people must be safe, light weight, and flexible. Therefore, we developed a device using a pneumatic cylinder to support a patient's upper limb motion. This supporting device has two modes corresponding to livelihood support and rehabilitation. Now, we are developing meal support mode using EMG to avoid muscle weakness as a new mode. In this paper, we reported the meal mode.
