非接触包囲型移動ロボットの設計：

形状と追従性能に関する要求仕様の検討

Recently, wearable robots, which add extra limbs like arms or legs, have been researched for the purpose of human augmentation. However, these wearable approaches, due to their weight and configuration of themselves, affect the inertia of the users and interfere with users walking. In this research, we propose a novel form of a mobile robot that is designed to surround a user non-contactly. This paper provides findings about the design of control performance requirements that we obtained from a walking task experiment. This robot can be prospected to use for human augmentation using the user’s peripheral space.
