To improve the control method of industrial power-assist devices and reduce the physical burden of the operator, we calculate the force and torque applied to each joint of the operator using the camera-measured joint coordinates and evaluate the physical burden of the operator when using the device. In this study, Openpose is employed to improve the accuracy of obtaining joint coordinates, and when misrecognition of coordinates occurs, the system corrects the misrecognition based on the normally recognized joint coordinates. In addition, a comparison with compression force on L5/S1 was conducted to investigate the allowable limit value, which is the danger level in joint torque.
