We propose a new type of walking support using "light touch effect" with a drone. The purpose of this research is to stabilize the user's gait by generating a "light touch effect" using a small drone. As a first step, we verified that the light touch effect is generated by floating objects. Using balloons, we measured whether the sway of the center of gravity during walking was reduced. As a result, it was confirmed that the stability of the center of gravity sway was improved. In the next stage of the research, we will verify whether the gravity center oscillation is stabilized when walking with a small drone and climbing up and down small stairs.
