自律型エクストラアームによる人間拡張に関する研究

抄録

Recentry, research on a supernumerary robot arm (Extra Arm) attached to humans has been conducted. Normally, Extra Arm requires an interface to operate. In this paper, we propose a Human Augmentation system using an autonomous Extra Arm that does not require operation. In this system, a hand camera image is associated with a real visual field, and control is performed based on Object Detection. As an example of the judgment made from the Object Detection result, the action of send warning sound to the wearer for a person approaching from behind is implemented. As a verification of this Extra Arm, about 90% of the control results were within 5 cm of the target position. In the approaching human, the detection time was 3.5 seconds at the maximum and the success rate was 90% after 10 detection experiments. These experiment results shown the effective of the proposed method.
