Control Moment Gyroscope を用いたスイング軌道制御

抄録

The analysis of movements has been applied to various fields. However, they are typically only in the form of visual or analytical data from a motion analyzer. Users are unable to feel these types of analysis directly on their bodies. In some fields, such as sports and rehabilitation, it is more efficient to feel a motion force than to see the image or numerical data in order to acquire skills. Therefore we propose a device to teach users a desired motion directly using force produced by a Control Moment Gyroscope (CMG). In particular, we focus on a swing motion in golf, baseball, or tennis. This paper introduces the developed CMG prototype and its validation in the control of pendulum movement.
