モーションセンサを用いた方向意図同定法の開発

抄録

For wildly used walking assistance machine, it’s inevitable for users to make operation by themselves during the assistance process. However, walking assistance machine can actively move to follower user’s intention, it will be more easy and comfortable for lower-limb handicapped to walk freely. In this study, a direction intention identification method is proposed due to lower limb operations using a neural network.

Specially, the walking motion of subject was measured by motion sensor during the process of walking forward walking backward, walking right. According to the acceleration of right foot, direction intention of subjects was identified. By experiments, the validity of the proposed method was verified.
