Recent progress in motion control for human support
Investigating R&D Committee on motion control for human support
Keyword : Motion control, Human support
Performance of various industrial instruments has been improved by motion control technologies. Recently, technologies for human attract attention of many researchers and engineers due to rapid aging of population in each developed country. So, motion control is vigorously applied to health and welfare fields. On the other hand, year-by-year advances in generic technologies that are absolutely essential for achieving motion control are remarkable over software, middleware and hardware.
This committee has investigated study cases and generic technologies for motion control, mainly on the human support field. The technical report organizes the results, which consists of the following contents:
1. generic technologies of motion control for human support,
2. human support on the robotic and industrial fields,
3. development of human support technology on the rehabilitation field.
