In modern society, where the 100-year lifespan is approaching, not only is the musculoskeletal system debilitated due to the super-aging problem, but also due to the increase in the number of people with locomotive syndrome, everyone is facing a crisis in which they cannot maintain their health due to lack of exercise. In order to solve these problems, researches on wearable robots that aim to assist and extend human body movements by wearing them are being actively conducted. Wearable robots often use surface electromyogram as human motion intention. In this study, we developed a flexible sensor that can measure displacement mechanomyogram, which correlates with surface electromyogram, in order to estimate human motion intention more easily, and verified its usefulness.
