本文介绍了一种新的助力服，以减轻护理者在护理转移工作中的腰部负担。拟议中的辅助诉讼是一种重量轻、价格低廉的诉讼。此外，由于使用了柔韧性很高的工作服，因此很容易穿戴和拆卸。制作了1块人工肌肉和2块人工肌肉的助力服，并通过综合肌电对助力效果进行了评价。此外，使用倾斜传感器和压力传感器，自动识别护理者在转移工作中的动作，以检测执行对人造肌肉的供气和释放的定时。提出了一种人工肌肉的压力控制策略。从实验结果来看，使用研制的动力辅助服，可以自动为照顾者提供合适的辅助力量。
This paper presents a new power assist suit to reduce the burden of a caregiver's waist for a transfer work in nursing care. The proposed assist suit is a lightweight and inexpensive. In addition, it can be worn and removed easily, since overalls with high pliability is used. The power assist suits with one artificial muscle and two artificial muscles were built, and the assistance effect was evaluated through an integrated electromyogram. Moreover, using a tilt sensor and a pressure sensor, an automatic identification of caregiver's action in the transfer work was carried out to detect a timing which performs air supply and release to the artificial muscle. Also, a pressure control strategy for the artificial muscle was proposed. From the experimental results, using the developed power assist suit, a suitable assist force was supplied to the caregiver automatically.
