Prototyping of the Soft Power Support Suit Based on Knowledge of Clothing Design

Abstract

In this research, we report that we developed prototype of the soft power support suit based on the knowledge of clothing design. There is a method using 3D measurement and plaster measurement as a way to design clothes. Based on this method, we propose to make measurements and clothing patterns for the power support suit. The concept makes it possible to realize power support suits that decreases the deviation of the mounting point and the burden during wearing. Based on the concept, the soft power support suit was prototyped and an operation test was conducted.
