     概要を見る

    The world’s aging population is increasing. The number of elderly individuals having walking impairments is also increasing. Adequate exercise is becoming necessary for them. Therefore, several walking assistive devices have been developed or are under development. However, elderly individuals may have low motivation for exercising, or they may experience physical damage by excessive fatigue. This study proposed a method to enable elderly individuals to exercise with a positive emotion and prevent damage such as muscle fatigue. We proposed a 3D human condition model to control the walking assistive device. It includes the arousal, pleasure, and fatigue dimensions. With regard to the arousal and pleasure dimensions, we used heartbeat and electromyography (EEG) signals to train a deep neural network (DNN) model to identify human emotions. For fatigue detection, we proposed a method based on near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to detect muscle fatigue. All the sensors are portable. This implies that it can be used for outdoor activities. Then, we proposed a walking strategy based on a 3D human condition model to control the walking assistive device. Finally, we tested the effectiveness of the automatic control system. The wearing of the walking assistive device and implementation of the walking strategy can delay the fatigue time by approximately 24% and increase the walking distance by approximately 16%. In addition, we succeeded in visualizing the distribution of emotion during each walking method variation. It was verified that the walking strategy can improve the mental condition of a user to a certain extent. These results showed the effectiveness of the proposed system. It could help elderlies maintain higher levels of motivation and prevent muscle damage by walking exercise, using the walking assistive device.

     概要を見る

    Extended roles of robots for activities of daily living (ADL) lead to researchers’ increasing attention to human-robot interaction. Emotional recognition has been regarded as an important issue from the human mental aspect. We are developing an assistive walking device which considers the correlation between physical assistance and mental conditions for the user. To connect the assistive device and user mental conditions, it is necessary to evaluate emotion in real-time. This study aims to develop a new method of two-dimensional valence-arousal model emotion evaluation with multiple physiological signals. We elicit users’ emotion change based on normative affective stimuli database, and further extract multiple physiological signals from the subjects. Moreover, we implement various algorithms (k-means, T method of MTS (Mahalanobis Taguchi System) and DNN (deep neural network)) for determining the emotional state from physiological data. Finally, the findings indicate that deep neural network method can precisely recognize the human emotional state.

    JOURNAL OF ADVANCED MECHANICAL DESIGN SYSTEMS AND MANUFACTURING   13 ( 4 )  2019年

     概要を見る

    Emotion is an internal and subjective experience that plays a significant role in human life. There are several methods of recognizing emotions in people, the most authentic of which is using physiological signals, as they are beyond one's control and strongly correlated with human emotions. This study aims to develop an emotion recognition system based on three physiological signals, namely, brainwave, heartbeat, and facial muscular activity. It utilizes deep neural network (DNN) and the T method of Mahalanobis-Taguchi system (MTS) to process the multiple physiological signals and further recognize the states of human emotion. As such, nine emotions are effectively recognized on a two-dimensional model through the DNN, then compared against several other algorithms, such as MTS, SVM, Naive Bayes, and K-means, where its superior accuracy is validated. Moreover, although the T method only improves the classification accuracy on the valence state, it rather obtains the intensity of emotion in different states. Furthermore, in this study, the proposed DNN is implemented into a wide range of applications for an accurate understanding of the human emotional states, whereas the T method is utilized to respond to the emotional intensity in different states. Finally, a real-time emotion recognition system is developed with DNN as the classifier; this system can directly monitor the variation of the human emotion through reliable and objective emotion analysis results from the physiological signals. Thus, the method can provide useful treatment effect information for robots or assistive apparatus serving activities of daily living.

    Eiichiro Tanaka, Keiichi Muramatsu, Keiichi Watanuki, Shozo Saegusa, Louis Yuge

    Wearable Exoskeleton Systems: Design, control and applications     255 - 290  2018年01月

     概要を見る

    This chapter presents authors development work on walking assistant exoskeletons for gait training of patients and promotion exercise of the elderly. The first exoskeleton is a whole leg assisting device using a special parallel link mechanism. For gait training of motor palsy patients, a weight bearing lifter was attached, and an impedance control was tuned by using frequency entertainment. For the elderly, a torque controller taken into account the dynamics of both a user and the apparatus with real time acceleration data is developed. The second exoskeleton is a whole body assisting suit was developed by adding arm assistance to the whole leg apparatus. By assisting not only legs but also swinging arms, an increased cerebral activity of all areas can be expected via rehabilitation with the whole body exoskeleton. Finally, we developed a close-fitting type exoskeleton assisting only ankle joint, which leads to a product RE-Gait® in 2016. By utilizing the structure of bi-articular muscle and physiological phenomenon of stretch reflex, the user’s leg can be raised assisting only ankle joint. Experiments with by hemiplegic patients are enclosed, which show that abduct variation of the hip joint is decreased while the stride length is increased by using the device.

  • Walking assistance according to the emotion

    Eiichiro Tanaka, Louis Yuge

    Emotional Engineering: Understanding Motivation   6   141 - 152  2017年11月

     概要を見る

    A walking assistance device for apoplexy patients has been developed. We developed a walking assistance device RE-Gait®, which assists the motion of the ankle joint while walking. The motor is controlled according to the walking phase grasped with the pressure sensors under the sole. It is already utilized as a product, for the gait training by so many hemiplegic patients. By using the technology of RE-Gait®, a new device for the able-bodied elderly to promote exercise was also developed. This is RE-Gait®Light, which is lower cost, very light, and easy to move. We proposed a new control method for this device, which is automatically tuned according to the condition of the emotion of the user. In this chapter, the evaluation results using this method are introduced.

  • Development and evaluation of an assistive apparatus with pantograph mechanism for standing-up motion of elderly

    Yun-Ting Liao, Keiichi Muramatsu, Keiichi Watanuki, Eiichiro Tanaka

    Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems and Manufacturing   11 ( 6 )  2017年11月  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    Due to the growing elderly population in many developed countries like Japan, assistive devices are increasingly needed to overcome the difficulties of their activities of daily living (ADL). The motion of standing up places a particular burden on the ankle and knee joints and connects static motions (e.g., sitting and lying) and kinetic motions (e.g., walking and climbing up/down the stairs). In our previous research, two types of standing-up assistance apparatuses were introduced according to the suitable standing-up motions. However, these devices are bulky and cannot be widely used in practical settings such as bus terminals. Regarding the suitable standing-up motions of the elderly in the previous literature, a standing-up apparatus with a pantograph mechanism is introduced to diminish the size of the mechanism based on three design principles: (1) the trajectory of the user's COG is an arc
    (2) the trajectory of the user's hip joint while standing up is a straight line at an angle of 45 [deg] from the horizon
    and (3) the user is supported until the knee angle reaches 60 [deg]. Simulations showed that the load on knee and ankle joint is decreased, and user may stand up easily with our proposed apparatus. A prototype of the apparatus that may be installed on various chairs in public was fabricated. Considering that the apparatus may be used in places without electric power supply, the apparatus is made simply with links and a gas spring instead of electric actuators. Experimental measurements of the trajectories of the center of gravity (COG) and hip joints show that the proposed apparatus may help users to stand in a way that minimizes stress on their lower-body joints.

    Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing   483   519 - 525  2017年

     概要を見る

    We proposed a method that promotes walking which uses a two-dimensional emotion map. In this method, a subject listened to a beat sound while walking. The beat was adjusted according to the condition of the subject, based on his/her comfortable walking frequency. Simultaneously, the walking velocity, the stride length, and the heart beat of the subject while walking was measured, and LF/HF was calculated from the result of measured heart beat. Furthermore, we asked them to give information on the condition of their feelings, from pleasant or not by 5 levels in each case of the beat sound. By using these data, a two-dimensional walking condition map and two-dimensional emotion map were made and we found the relation between these two maps. Therefore, according to the emotional condition of the targeted person while walking, this method can promote or restrain walking adequately, only adjusting the beat sound.

  • Preliminary study of ontological descriptions of emotions using motion assistance apparatus

    Keiichi Muramatsu, Eiichirou Tanaka, Keiichi Watanuki

    Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing   483   535 - 542  2017年

     概要を見る

    In the current study, we formulated ontological descriptions for emotional states of users using motion assistance apparatus. In our previous studies, we developed apparatus that assists the ankle joints of patients in neuro-rehabilitation. Although we have confirmed the apparatus can improve the gait of the patient while walking, we have to capture and manage patients’ emotions as feedback of the usage. The ontological descriptions provide a feasible framework for common understanding while sharing and using this knowledge. In future work, we will develop a subset of this framework for more practical usage, in addition to expanding the descriptions of emotional states. After that, we will assess the validity and utility for design and implementation of software and hardware applications using this subset.

    <p>We developed a new power assistance suit without the need for electricity. This suit is to support care worker's assistance behavior, e.g. lifting-up and holding motion. It is made of only rubber and nylon belts. This suit can assist the equipped person's arms and back with two kinds of equipped belts. One is for the waist, attached from the shoulder to the back of the knee via his/her back. The other is for the arms, attached from equipped person's forearm to the back of the knee via his/her back. To confirm the possibility of this suit, first, we interviewed medical doctors and physical therapists. Their comments were, it is important to adjust the length of each belt for an equipped person adequately, and it is effective for the assistance of motion in a half-sitting posture and in transfer motions between a bed and a wheel chair. Furthermore, we measured the variation of maximum output force and %MVC of the entire body muscles during lifting and holding motions using the suit and not. From the result, by using this suit, the maximum lifting weight of the equipped person was increased by over 8kg, and the arms and back of the equipped person were assisted effectively.</p>

    World Automation Congress Proceedings   2016-October  2016年10月

     概要を見る

    We developed a device that promotes walking which uses a two-dimensional emotion map for the exercise of the elderly. This map was made with two axes, the horizontal axis was pleasant or unpleasant, with the vertical axis being arousal or not, same as the circumplex model of affect (J. A. Russell (1980)). This device has two means to promote walking. One is an ankle joint assistance system, which consists of a servo motor and a controller which can adjust the targeted walking cycle, the targeted angle of the ankle joint, and the sensitivity of the sensors which was attached under the sole. The other is a beat listening system. The beat listening system makes the beat sound, which is decided for the purpose of the user, and based on the walking cycle. The user listens to the beat sound using head phones. By combining and using these two means simultaneously, users can change their gait and emotion, therefore, they can continue to walk for a long time.

    We developed a walking assistance apparatus RE-Gait® for not only the elderly but also apoplexy patients, which assist the ankle joint of the equipped person. By only assisting the ankle joint, the equipped person’s leg can be raised. To keep up the user’s motivation for exercise using this apparatus, it is necessary to assist not only physically but also mentally. Therefore we suggested the new method of promotion walking, using the walking assistance apparatus while listening to the beat sound, which was adjusted according to a two-dimensional emotion map. In this paper, the relation between emotion map and walking condition map is shown.

    We developed a motion assistance apparatus which can be used for neuro-rehabilitation of patients and for the promotion of exercise for the elderly. This apparatus assists only the ankle joints of the equipped person according to the posture of him/her while walking, getting up, sitting, and standing. By using this apparatus, the dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the ankle joint of the equipped person can increase while walking. Therefore, this apparatus can prevent stumbling and promote walking and various motions.

     概要を見る

    We developed a method which can diagnose damage on a gear tooth surface by using laser beam without a rotary encoder. This method is as follows: 1) The tooth bottom, the tooth tip and their two medians are detected by the differentials of the laser reflection data. 2) The gear rotation speed is calculated with these four positions, and interpolated according to the rotation fluctuation. 3) By using the calculated gear rotation speed, the measured data can be converted corresponding to the gear rotation angle. Thus we diagnose gear tooth surface damage without being influenced by rotational fluctuation. We did diagnosis experiments and we made contour maps show diagnosis accuracy. From these maps, we got the following conclusions: 1) The accuracy of damage diagnosis is the same level regardless of the presence or absence of a rotary encoder. 2) The cycle of rotational fluctuation hardly affects the accuracy. 3) Bigger fluctuation amplitude makes the range accuracy worse, however the position accuracy improves.

     概要を見る

    We developed a new whole body motion support type mobile suit. This suit can be used separately for supporting the upper and/or lower limbs, for assisting in ADL (Activities of Daily Living). We also developed a mobile lifter system which can bear both the equipped person and the suit. This suit and the lifter can be used by motor palsy patients, people who have suffered a stroke, spinal-cord-injury patients, and people with central nerve disorders. Using this device, these patients can recover normal gait with no risk of falling. In this paper, the cerebral activity during walking using the suit and normal gait without the suit are compared. According to multiple trials with the suit on a treadmill, the activities of the premotor area sensory motor cortex decreased. Especially, while walking using the suit for supporting lower limbs without swinging arms, the cerebral activities of most of the areas decreased. This data shows that it bcomes ineffective for patients accustomed to the suit in rehabilitation. However, on the contrary, by walking while swinging bilateral arms (even though these arms were assisted by the suit), the activity in the supplementary motor area increased (this area of the brain is related with memory of motion). Furthermore, the cerebral activities while walking on a treadmill and while walking in a corridor with an outside view were compared using NIRS (Near-Infrared Spectroscopy). From the results of this experiment, we found it is most effective for gait training to actually walk and not stay fixed in one location. We also found it is important for patients to swing their arms during gait training in rehabilitation.

    We developed a new diagnostic method by using a laser beam. A tooth surface is irradiated by the zonal laser beam from an oblique direction, and then the irradiated laser beam line is shifted along the height of the tooth according to gear rotation. The variation of the voltage proportional to laser reflection between initial and present conditions are compared, and the condition of the tooth surface can be diagnosed for things such as initial or abnormal abrasion, pitting, etc. Furthermore, we developed a method of automatic and remote damage diagnosis on a gear tooth surface according to various gear specifications by using the angle-distance relation map which made from pre-measured data of same material and heat treatment, and taking into account the influence of adjacent teeth. The measured data agreed well with the predicted data made with this method, therefore we can diagnosis the condition of various products automatically.

     概要を見る

    We have developed a prototype for a walking-assistance apparatus that serves as a next-generation vehicle or a movable neuro-rehabilitation training appliance for the elderly or motor palsy patients. Our prototype uses a novel spatial parallel link mechanism with a weight-bearing lift. Flat steps of the apparatus move in parallel with the ground
    the apparatus supports the entire leg alignment (including soles of the feet) and assists walking behavior at the ankle, knee, and hip joints simultaneously. To estimate the walking phase of each leg of the equipped person, pressure sensors were attached under the thenar eminence and the heel of the sole and the pressure variation at each sensing point was measured. To determine the direction in which the equipped person is walking, a pressure sensor was attached to the flexible crural link. Motor palsy patients and those with muscle weakness can walk with the assistance of the apparatus. Patients who have ambulation difficulty can also use the apparatus with a weight-bearing lift that we developed. Using the apparatus with the weight-bearing lift prevents stumbling and enables input of walking movement to the brain motor area. The validity of the weight-bearing lift can be confirmed from the results of the measured % maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). © (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

     概要を見る

    The repletion rate of guide dogs for visually handicapped persons is roughly 10% nationwide. The reasons for this low rate are the long training period and the expense for obtaining a guide dog in Japan. Motivated by these two reasons, we are developing guide-dog robots. The major objective is to develop an intelligent human-robot interface. This paper describes two novel interface algorithms and strategy to guide visually handicapped person. We developed new leading edge searching method, which uses a single laser range finder (LRF) developed to find the center of the corridor in an indoor environment. We also developed a new twin cluster trace method that can recognize the led-person's walking conditions measured by the LRF. The algorithm allows the guide-dog robot to accurately estimate and anticipate the led-person's next move. We experimentally verified these algorithms. The results show that the algorithms are reliable enough to enable the guide-dog robot and the led-person to maneuver in a complex corridor environment. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

     概要を見る

    A prototype for a walking assistance apparatus for the elderly or rehabilitants of motor palsy patients was developed as a next-generation vehicle or movable neuro-rehabilitation training appliance, using a novel spatial parallel link mechanism and a bearing lift. The flat steps of the apparatus move in parallel with the ground
    the apparatus can support entire leg alignment (including soles) and assist
    walking behavior at ankle, knee and hip joints simultaneously. To respond to the variation of equipped person's walking velocity, the length of stride and walking cycle while walking with wearing the apparatus were compensated by using walking ratio. Therefore the apparatus can be controlled in response to equipped person's will. Next, we developed a control method of the apparatus by using impedance control, taking into account the dynamics of the apparatus and the legs of an equipped person, and assist ratio for the equipped person. By adjusting the value of natural angular frequency of the desired dynamic equation for the equipped person, this apparatus can assist walking according to the equipped person's desired response of the apparatus. Furthermore, motor palsy and muscle weakness patients can walk by themselves by using the apparatus
    patients who have ambulation difficulty can use the apparatus with weight bearing lift that we developed. Using the apparatus with the weight bearing lift prevents stumbling and enables input of walking movement to the brain motor area. From the results of measured %MVC, the validity of the weight bearing lift was shown. Copyright © 2011 by ASME.

    本研究では、乳母車利用時における安全性の向上を念頭に、乳児用バギーの新機能開発をおこなった。乳児用バギーの新機能開発のため、乳母車利用者へのアンケート調査に基づき新機能を開発する改善点を抽出した。アンケート調査は東京都荒川区南千住駅前ショッピングモール周辺でおこなった。調査地点の特徴として、自動車の交通量が多いこと、鉄道利用者の往来が多いこと、また歩道上での自転車と乳母車の同時通行がおこなわれていることがあげられる。調査の結果、片手開閉機能や片手推進時の直進性の向上など、「片手操作性の向上」に強い希望が示された。片手操作性の向上は、利用者が乳幼児を確実に確保することを確実にする。同時に、利用者が乳幼児に十分な注意力を確保することに効果が期待される。そこで、既存の乳児用バギーを基に、片手収納機能、直進性の向上、新たな自立機能の各追加機能を開発した。第1に、新たにキックバーを取り付け、片手での収納を容易にした。本機能は同時に自立機能のための追加動作を不要とした。第2に、ハンドル回転機構を開発し、左右に分かれたハンドルの疑似的な一体化を可能とした。本機能により、片手操作時における直進性の向上が期待できる。

     概要を見る

    An apparatus to assist elderly patients to stand up, as well as leaning forward the upper body, has been developed. The mechanism of the apparatus enables to shift the person's center of gravity along an adequate trajectory during the standing up process, so as not to cause strain on the joints of the user's leg. The apparatus also assists a person to alter from a standing or sitting posture to lying posture. Although the mechanism has multiple links and joints, only one actuator is required to transform the apparatus between aforementioned three postures. The length of each link of the mechanism has been determined from their effect on the backrest angle when each link in the mechanism length is changed. The torque of the hip and knee joints while using the apparatus can be calculated and compared with the data of a user not using the apparatus. We hypothesize that the output torque of the user while standing is decreased by using the apparatus.Mechanical Design

    We have developed two kinds of power assistance suits. One is for support a patient's activities of daily living, which was united two apparatuses between for the upper limbs and for the legs; these were driven with a motor. These apparatuses were already developed, and characterized in that equipped person can be assisted for arms and legs without fixation with the apparatuses. By using this suit, we can input the entire body motion to the equipped patient for the neuro-rehabilitation. The other is for support a helper's assistance behavior, which was made with rubber belt, and without electricity. This suit can assist lifting motion, especially for equipped person's arms and waist. To confirm the validity of this suit, we measured the variation of maximum output force, IEMG and %MVC of the entire body while lifting and holding motion. By using this suit, the maximum lifting weight of equipped person was increased by 8kg, and the arm and leg of the equipped person were assisted effectively.

     概要を見る

    A conceptual Guide-Dog Robot prototype to lead and to recognize a visually-handicapped person is developed and discussed in this paper. Key design features of the robot include a movable platform, human-machine interface, and capability of avoiding obstacles. A novel algorithm enabling the robot to recognize its follower's locomotion as well to detect the center of corridor is proposed and implemented in the robot's human-machine interface. It is demonstrated that using the proposed novel leading and detecting algorithm along with a rapid scanning laser range finder (LRF) sensor, the robot is able to successfully and effectively lead a human walking in corridor without running into obstacles such as trash boxes or adjacent walking persons. Position and trajectory of the robot leading a human maneuvering in common corridor environment are measured by an independent LRF observer. The measured data suggest that the proposed algorithms are effective to enable the robot to detect center of the corridor and position of its follower correctly.

    In Japan, repletion rate of guide dogs for visually-handicapped persons is at very low percentage of roughly 10% nationwide due to required long training period as well as uneconomic price in obtaining a guide dog. Motivated by these two reasons, we are currently developing a Guide-Dog Robot with major objective given to developing intelligence in human-guide-dog robot interface. In this paper, novel human-machine interface algorithm and strategy to lead visually-handicapped people is proposed. A new leading edge searching method intelligently incorporated with one leaser range finder (LRF) is developed and implemented in our prototype guide-dog robot. It is demonstrated in our experiment that with the new method, the robot not only is able to effectively recognize the led-person's walking conditions but also is able to accurately estimate the person's next move. With the new method and a LRF, robustness is improved and validated to allow the guide-dog robot and the led-person to maneuver in complex corridor environment.

    There are many persons who lost their sight or hearing. And They want to get more flexibility for their activities. But there are very low supply assistance-dog. So, we started to serve a assistance-dog robot for handicap persons. In this paper, algorithm of obstacle detection with image processing and avoidance are proposed. Especially, the potential method is applied to Bar-Shape obstacles for estimating the coordinate. These validity of methods are shown with simulation and also experiment by using prototype robot with real-time processing. As a result, we found the choice of getting around Bar or not is easily to control with height of Bar with persons safety.

Furthermore, the machine was mounted self-contained control system used a SH-4 microcomputer and Lithium-ion batteries. As a result, the equipped person can walk without limitation of the area where the machine can be used. The EMG while the equipped person walked on the stairs was measured, and the ratio of IEMG between the data while wearing and without wearing the machine, and MVC were calculated. As a result, the machine was effective to use during walking on the stairs for the lower leg (crural leg) of the equipped person.

Although utilization of AFOs has been expanding, it is still questionable if functions and structures of AFOs are suitable. In this paper, a new active ankle-foot orthosis (AAFO), which is dynamically controlled linked with muscle activities, is proposed. To discuss functions of the AAFO, using the electromyographies (EMGs), muscle activities during dynamic balancing of a body and changing of muscle activities with fatigue are considered. As the results, it's shown that to assist femoris muscles additionally to the tibialis anterior muscle is important as the function of the AAFO.

     概要を見る

    A method for predicting gear noise from the vibration step to the sound-generation step of a complete gear system, including a gearbox, was developed. This method consists of three separate steps: gear-vibration analysis by an in-house program, gearbox-vibration analysis by an FEA program, and sound-radiation analysis by a commercial software. By using this method, it can obtain the vibration behavior of the gear and gearbox, and the distribution of the sound-pressure around the gearbox and identify the areas from which noise radiates intensely. To validate the method, we measured the displacement of a gear shaft, the acceleration of points on the surface of the gearbox, and the sound-pressure levels around the gearbox. The measured results agreed well with the corresponding calculations. According to the calculated noise, a low-noise gearbox was designed by adding ribs near the antinodes of the gearbox's vibration mode.

    We have developed a new method for building a vibration model of an actual gear-drive system. Each gear has six degrees of freedom: three translational and three rotational motions. Stiffness matrixes representing each gear shaft and tooth meshing were made and overlapped into one stiffness matrix for the whole system. This enabled easy modelling of complex gear-drive systems such as multi-stage gears and branched gears. The results are in good agreement with experimental results with respect to the major resonance frequencies and vibration modes.

    麻痺患者の歩行訓練,高齢者の運動促進を効率的に支援する超小型装着型歩行補助システムを開発する.歩行中の感情と体調を心拍・脳波分析値を機械学習にて快‐不快,覚醒‐睡眠を2軸とした2次元感情マップ上の位置と座標変化をリアルタイムに推定する.また歩行率と歩幅を2軸とした2次元歩容マップ上の位置と座標変化との相関関係を用い,使用者の目的・体調に応じて覚醒・快方向に歩行補助機制御値を自動調整し,比較的小さな目標達成による至高経験を繰り返す.楽をしたいという外的欲求に打ち勝ち,高次な内的欲求の維持により,不快度を低減したリハビリ,興奮・疲労しすぎず長時間可能な歩行促進を実現し使用者の自己実現を促進する.これまで開発してきた患者向け歩行補助機をさらに発展させ,高齢者・健常者の運動促進を目的とした歩行補助機の開発を行った.高齢者・健常者には,強力な補助力は必要とせず,メトロノームのように指標となる歩行周期と底背屈を足関節で補助するだけで歩容改善することがすでに確認されているため,小形のモータを使用し,また足関節の内外旋動作を阻害しないよう外側フレームのみの構造とした.また,手軽に着脱できるよう,装着者自身の履いている靴の上から装着可能なものとした.装置のコントローラは無線化し,スマートホンもしくはタブレットにて操作可能とした.さらに,以前提案した過負荷防止用トルクリミッターは,破損時に使用者自身での交換やリミットトルクの調整が困難であるため,新構造を提案した.また,足関節背屈補助は,階段を上るときにも有効であることを確認した.しかし高齢者は階段の下りの片足立脚時に膝折れすることが多いため,無動力で膝折れ防止をする機構を提案した.今後,新提案の機構で試作を行い,装置に導入し,評価実験に使用する.一方,物理的に補助するだけでなく,歩行中の感情を考慮しながら補助することを検討するため,感情状態と歩容との関連性についても方向性を確認した.まず,歩容マップ内の被験者ごとの理想歩行といえる歩行比のラインを予備実験にて取得し,このライン上に沿ってもしくはその直角方向に装置の目標パラメータをシフトさせると,感情が一定の方向にシフトする傾向があることを確認した.また,各方向に繰り返し変化させることにより,よりその傾向が高まることを確認した.さらに,それら4方向の歩容変化を順番に与えると,快かつ覚醒方向に戻ってきたとき,より強く感情が変化することを確認した.さらに,感情だけでなく疲労も考慮することを検討し,NIRSにより筋力疲労を評価できる可能性を検討した.初年度に,小形歩行補助機の開発,次年度に感情と歩容の関係の明確化,最終年度に臨床実験と計画していたが,概ね予定通り進んでいる.次年度の計画の準備も含めて初年度に進めることができた.昨年度に明確化した感情と歩容の関係を用いて,歩行者の感情を快かつ覚醒に導く確認実験を行う.さらに,ラッセルの感情円環モデルに対し,3軸目の疲労を考慮した人間状態モデルを提案し,その有効性を確認する.さらに,最終年度には,感情と疲労を考慮した歩行補助実験を行い,その有効性を検証する

    持ち上げ補助を必要とする現場では,業務時間中装着し続けても持ち上げ作業以外の業務に支障を来たさないことが必要である.しかし重量物を持ち上げられるようばね定数の高いゴムを使用すると,作業以外のときの様々な動作を抑制する.逆にばね定数の低いゴムを使用し必要時のみゴムの端部に予張力を与えると,装着者は立脚姿勢時でもゴムの反力を受け続けるためかえって動けなくなり苦痛を伴う.そこで,普段は自由に動作できるようばね定数を低く設定し,重量物の持ち上げ作業時のみばね定数を高めることができる,小型軽量な磁気粘弾性ゴムファイバーを創製する.現在,少子高齢化により,介助者や作業者不足が深刻化している.また,職業疾病の6割が腰痛とあり,ものを持ち上げる動作への負担を軽減するため,ゴムやばね,ガススプリングなどを用いたパッシブの持ち上げ動作時に腰を補助器具が各種開発されている.研究グループでも,持ち上げ動作中の腕と腰をゴムベルトにより同時に補助するスーツを提案している.しかし,そのゴムなどが強すぎると動作を抑制し,弱すぎると補助効果がない.また,持ち上げる対象の重量によっても適切な反力の強さが必要である.そこで,装着者の状況に応じて適宜ゴムの反力が非線形に得られる構造を提案しその検証実験を行った.しかしこの場合,強い補助力を得るためには適宜ベルト長の調整が必要である.そこで,硬さが変えられる磁気弾性ゴムファイバーの創製を行う.さらにこれを出力可変式持ち上げ補助スーツとして生体応用する.出力可変式持ち上げ補助スーツ補助スーツに応用可能なサイズおよびばね定数を得られるような磁気弾性ゴムファイバーの構造,製造方法,使用方法を検討した.鉄粉を混ぜたシリコーンを生成し,その生成物に磁力を加え,引っ張ったとき,鉄粉同士が磁石のように離れることを阻止するよう働くことを想定し,この状況を実現することが可能な実験装置を開発した.本実験装置を用いて,ばね定数変化やその変化状況が継続する引張量の長さが大きく得られる鉄粉とシリコーンの割合を,実験により確認することができた.しかし,鉄粉の大きさや形状,シリコーンや磁力など,考えるべきパラメータは多数あるため,変化率に寄与する度合いの高いパラメータの探索を次年度行うこととした.持ち上げ動作補助スーツを開発し,体を曲げた度合いに応じて非線形に反力が得られる構造を提案し,その効果検証を行った.さらにこのスーツに応用可能なゴムファイバーの生成方法を検討し,また生成したゴムファイバーを固定し,引っ張りながら磁力を与えることのできる装置の開発を行った.また,鉄粉の割合を変えた基礎実験を行うところまで実施できたことから,概ね順調に進展している.初年度に持ち上げ動作補助スーツの効果を確認できたことから,現状の補助スーツに使用されているゴムベルトのパラメータに近く,かつベルト長の調整範囲に相当する出力可変式の磁気粘性ゴムファイバーの変化率の高いパラメータを探索する

  • 足裏から下肢全体を支援する歩行補助機構の開発

     概要を見る

    近年,高齢者の人口が急速に増加している.高齢者は,一般に加齢に伴い筋力が低下するため,自力での歩行が可能であっても疲労しやすい.また,本人は普段通りに歩いているつもりでも,疲労するにしたがって歩行時の足の位置,角度などが変化していくため,わずかな段差であってもつまずきやすくなる.このような歩行機能低下時の転倒事故により,自信喪失および介護者を必要とする状態に陥るケースが多い.そこで本研究では,高齢者およびリハビリ患者の自立生活の支援を目指すため,足には固定せずに,膝関節や股関節だけでなく,足関節までを含めた下肢全体の歩行支援をする動的歩行補助機を開発した.18年度の時点では,直線方向の歩行のみ補助可能であったが,各種センサを活用しコンピュータの自立化を図ることで,様々な環境での歩行を可能とした,19年度における開発成果を以下に記す.1.足首のひねりをリンクの変形から検知し,左右の歩幅を調整することで方向転換を可能とした.2.本装置が平行リンクを用いた構造であることから,腰部背面に傾斜センサを取り付け,装着者の立っている地面の角度を検出し,装置の軌道を補正することで,傾斜面に応じた歩行が可能となった.3.健常者の階段昇降時の関節角度変化を計測し,装置装着者に応じた制御軌道を生成する手法を提案し,かつ,非接触距離センサを用いて段差との距離を計測することで軌道を補正し,腰きを防止した.4.SH4およびリチウムイオンバッテリーを装置に搭載し,自立化したことにより,行動範囲の制約を受けず,自由に移動可能となった.また,約1時間の連続稼動による屋外歩行を確認した

     概要を見る

    The purpose of this study is to assess the interaction between walking and emotion variation. Two-dimension walking condition map and the two-dimension emotion map were used to understand their relation. According to the tendency of the changing walking gait in response to the emotion variation, we found that two factors can be influenced by each other. Therefore, by using this relation, we proposed an evaluation method for the user obtaining a better rehabilitation effect while using the assistive device. We recommended that the patient should walk comfortably through following the personal walking limitation, they thus can freely two-way control the emotion and walking while using an assistive device. To conclude, our proposed evaluation method can be employed for various assistive devices.

    Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing   585   78 - 85  2018年

     概要を見る

    In recent times, light-emitting diode (LED) lighting has been widespread in offices and manufacturing buildings, but for assembly operation in manufacturing situations, it has not yet been explored. In this study, we measure color preference and visual fatigue to evaluate LED task lighting for assembly operation. We conducted an experiment to obtain subjective responses to color preference and to measure visual fatigue under LED lighting. The participants were asked to assemble a gearbox model as a task under three different lighting conditions. As a result, lighting with high color temperature was rated with high visibility, fatigability, and low preference. On the other hand, critical fusion frequency, which indicates visual fatigue, was higher in lighting with low color temperature than in lighting with other conditions. This indicates that color preference as a subjective response discords from visual fatigue evaluated by biological information.

     概要を見る

    A novel control method for the walking assistance device using predefined walking trajectory used to walk for the elderly or the patients with weak leg muscle on stairs from plain more safely and naturally is proposed in this paper. Two control method, torque control and impedance control, used per their usage purpose are introduced, and the later one is focused in this paper. To make sure the use of safety, two situations, putting swing leg in front of stair too close or too far, while a user wearing assistance climbing up on the stairs through even ground is considered. If the user faces these situations walking with the apparatus using impedance control, falling or collision between apparatus and stair are happened more easily than level walking because of lots of environment facts need to be considered like the distance between user and stairs. One of the most important environment facts is recognizing of the stairs, therefore, to prevent the user from the danger in each situation, ultrasonic sensor is used as a safety system to keep space, and we called safety distance, between foot part of walking device and stair. The value of safety distance is not only defined as a switch to change the walking trajectory between the plain mode and the stair mode but also used to decide the ideal stride of trajectory while walking to stairs from even ground. Finally, the result of walking experiment shows that the safety walking experience by wearing our walking assistance device can be achieved.

     概要を見る

    In this study, we proposed a method which could be used for mapping people's emotion state on the two-dimensional arousal-valence model of effect. The final target of our research is to apply this kind of emotional recognition system to robots or some assistant apparatus which service activities of daily living (ADL). Since in our previous studies, we have finished the work of recognizing people's emotion state on the dimension of arousal by evaluating subjects' heartbeat and LF/HF, which is calculated from the frequency domain analysis of HRV, as the second step's work, we focused on how to recognize people's emotion state on valence dimension. To be specific, we used some kinds of normative affective stimuluses to elicit subjects' emotional change, then collected multiple physiological data during this emotional stimulation process. Finally, as for data analyzing, we didn't use the supervised learning method, like SVM, but made a new attempt to apply the unsupervised clustering method to sample data, dividing the data set into several natural clusters by analyzing the physiological features we abstracted. The calculated results of our experiment have verified the feasibility of mapping human's emotion state on the two-dimensional arousal-valence model of effect at a quadrant level.

    <p>We developed small type of a standing up device for the elderly. We have developed standing up devices; caster walker type and bed wheel chair type. They assist standing up motion, backed on following two conditions. 1) the trajectory of center of gravity of the user is round shape, 2) the trajectory of the hip joint of the user while standing up is straight line. These conditions were found from the data of able bodied elderly people, and the feature of their standing up conditions is to lean forward the upper body. By using these devices, the load of the knee joint decrease, and the user can learn how to stand up easily. However, these devices are bulky and usable scenes are limited. Then we developed small type, which can be used on various chairs. This type assists from sitting posture to the middle phase while standing up. The mechanism is constituted with links and a gas spring, instead of a motor. It is light weight, low cost, and small to be able to attach to the back of a chair. From the calculation, by using this new type, the output torques of the knee and ankle joints decreased.</p>

    <p>A walking assistance apparatus using a torque limiter was developed. We used the servo motor for hobby, it is relatively small, light weight, and included not only a motor and transmission gear, but also a driver and encoder. At first, we controlled the device using angle control method, according to the walking phase along to the mean data of able bodied people while walking. However, when the user stops walking suddenly or walk on outdoor various roads, the final gear was broken frequently. Because the gear was designed to break easily, to defend the motor from the inverse inputting overload torque. Then we developed a torque limiter mechanism in the final gear. This is a traction drive sandwiched a soft material plate between two circular disk. We carried out the experiment to measure the limit torques of eight kinds of the rubber material. In this paper, the results of the experiment were shown.</p>

     概要を見る

    <p>Wear on tooth surface of gears occurs while gear pair transmits a power and a rotation. The progression of the wear gradually degrade the performance for the change in the tooth profile. Especially, the edge contact provides a large wear to the tooth surface. A tooth profile modification is widely used to prevent the edge contact. However, there is few researches about the effect of tooth profile modification to the surface wear. In this study, we investigated the effect of tooth profile modification on the tooth wear of involute spur gear in the cyclic wear test with two types of gears. Furthermore, we developed a computer program to predict the amount of the wear on the tooth surface considering the edge contact for the spur gear. The method is based on two types of wear equations. One is Soda's theory under lubricated condition, and the other is derived from the ploughing wear model. We compered the calculated result with experimental data, and discussed the effect of the tooth profile modification on the tooth wear.</p>

    <p>Various walking assistance devices which promote rehabilitation and exercise for elderly have been developed. However, these devices can't support walking for exercise, because many elderly feels fatigue and bored in assisted walking. Therefore, the aim of our current study is to assist not only physically but also mentally elderly walkers to keep up their motivation. Concretely, we propose a walking promotion method that walkers listen to the beat sound adjusted according to their emotions with the ankle support assistance device. In order to confirm the effectiveness of the method, we conducted two experiments. The first experiment has four conditions where walkers have the device assist or not and the beat sound assist or not. As a result, the gait was improved with the device and sound assist where target cadences were adjusted according to their walking cycle. The second experiment has two conditions where walkers assisted sound adjusted according to their emotions or not. As a result, awakening levels perceived by the walkers remarked higher than ones in usual walking. These results showed the effectiveness of the method and possibility of the control of the emotion while walking.</p>

    We developed a walking assistance apparatus which can be used for neuro-rehabilitation of patients. This apparatus assists only the ankle joints of the equipped person and he/she can raise his/her leg by using the stretch reflex to bi-articular muscle. To confirm the effectiveness of the apparatus, we carried out the experiment for the patients of walking with wearing the apparatus, and the angle variation of the ankle was measured. From the results, by using this apparatus, the dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the ankle joint of the equipped person can increase while walking. Furthermore, to grasp the lifetime limit of the apparatus, we developed the fatigue test apparatus for the power transmission device of the walking assistance apparatus: from the motor to the worm-helical gearbox through the flexible shaft. This apparatus supplies the power with the motor which is the same as the motor which is used in the walking apparatus. As a result, we could define the limit to replace of the flexible shaft according to the condition of the user.

     概要を見る

    Recently, view point of service has been widespread. In learning domains, service providers have been required to adopt it and to provide values co-created by teachers and learners. The value co-creation takes place in joint sphere where providers and customers make interaction, and the value is subjectively perceived by receivers (learners in learning service). That is, a mental state of leaner is one of possible value in the co-creation. The current study aims to develop a conceptual framework which describes mental states of learners for specifying values in the co-creation. As a result, we proposed ontological descriptions of learning event which consists of a teacher, a learner, learning materials, and a learning action by the learner. In concrete terms, we proposed ontological descriptions for receiver states in a learning activity, on the basis of a conceptual model of value co-creation. The ontological descriptions are useful for sharing knowledge on values perceived by learners to design learning services.

    Flexible shaft is bent elasticically, and then it is possible to change the direction of power transmission freely. It consists of some layers of wires those are rolled alternately around the core. Due to the construction, twisting properties are strongly depending on the direction in which the wires of external layer rolled. In this study, we measure the twisting properties of flexible shafts for both directions, one is the direction of the external layer rolled and one is opposite. Experimental results show the twisting property is independent of the length of the shaft and bending-radius. The second rigidities are completely different depending on the twisting direction. In the case of shafts those have use history, the second rigidity is got smaller and width of the first rigidity is got larger.

    A new apparatus to assist an elderly person to stand up, as well as leaning forward the upper body, has been developed. The mechanism of the apparatus enables to shift the person's center of gravity along an adequate trajectory during standing up process, so as not to cause strain for each joint of the elderly's leg. The apparatus also assists a person to alter from standing or sitting posture to lying posture. Although the mechanism has multiple links and joints, only one actuator is required to transform the apparatus between aforementioned three postures. The length of each link of the mechanism has been determined from their effect on the backrest angle when each link length is changed. Each torque of hip and knee joint of the person while standing up was calculated, and effectiveness of the apparatus has been confirmed.

     概要を見る

    We are currently developing a Guide-Dog Robot for visually-handicapped person. In our concept, the robot should have a movable platform, human-machine interface and capability of avoiding obstacles. For leading them safely, the robot is required to detect their position correctly. At the same time, it is required to detect a direction that people are walking. In this paper, the algorithm for a human-machine interface to lead the people is proposed. Getting the position data of a person as follower into account would be considered by this algorithm. To realize such an intelligent leading, we propose the new algorithm that a robot detects the center of corridor and foot of the follower simultaneously with a laser range finder (LRF). Also, the prototype robot is verified that it can lead a person successfully and safely.

     概要を見る

    Although the gearing of crossed helical gears theoretically takes place at a point, the contact point extends over a small ellipse due to elastic deformation under loading. Hence the contact stress between the tooth surfaces is comparatively high. Furthermore, the sliding velocity on the tooth surfaces is higher than for other gears. For above mentioned reasons, crossed helical gears are able to carry only very small loads. To make the most of its good features, it is important to improve the load carrying capacity of crossed helical gears. Two factors, that is, high sliding velocity and high contact stress seem to be important, but here we limit the discussion to the contact stress state. It is worthwhile to examine the subject more closely. Also, it is important to understand the meshing geometry of crossed helical gears, since it forms the theoretical basis of the meshing geometry of other types of gearing. The purpose of this report is exactly to investigate the contact stress states on the tooth surface of crossed helical gears.

    Our team has developed a prototype for a walking assistance apparatus for the elderly or rehabilitants; that uses a spatial parallel link mechanism. Its flat steps of our apparatus move in parallel with the ground and can support the whole legs of the person including his/her soles. By using a flexible link which is made from stainless steel and rubber, the apparatus can achieve the twisting motions of the waist and ankle. By using this developed apparatus, the wearing experiment was carried out and the effectiveness of the apparatus was evaluated by the IEMG (Integrated Electromyography). As a result, muscle activity of the RF (the Rectus Femoris muscle) and the TA (the Tibialis Anterior muscle) while wearing the apparatus decreased to sixty percent. Therefore, the muscles on the front of the leg were especially affected by using the apparatus. Furthermore, in order to assist walking indoors, we investigated the assistance methods of walking on a slope or stairs. The apparatus was equipped with a gyro sensor and an ultrasonic sensor; the angle of the slope and the size of stairs could be recognized and the apparatus could be adapted accordingly to the signals from the sensors. As a result of our experiment, the equipped person wearing the apparatus could walk on a slope and stairs at will.

     概要を見る

    In this paper, a dynamically controlled/powered walking support system was described. Certain requirements must be met when developing a walking support system; it must be light weight and safe. Particularly, in this paper, emphasis is placed on maintaining natural appearance by a simple, small, and lightweight device. To meet the requirements of the walking support system using a simply designed device, development must be conducted considering muscular activity. Muscular activity revealed that the anterior muscles are activated during balancing, and that the tibialis anterior muscle is the most important muscle for assist during walking. Based on these results, a walking support system with dynamic motion assist functions for the ankle and knee joint was successfully developed. The system exhibits suitable functionality and maintains the natural appearance by using flexible shafts for power transmission.

     概要を見る

    We developed a new diagnostic method by using a laser beam. First, the tooth surface is irradiated by a zonal laser beam from oblique direction, and then an irradiated laser beam line is shifted along the height of the tooth according to gear revolution. The variations of laser reflection between the initial and the present conditions are compared, and it can estimate the condition on the tooth surface. Next, we developed the method to scan the length of the pitting area from the laser reflection data using a computer. To put this method into practical use, the laser sensor was fixed in the gearbox, and the laser reflection from the lubricated gear was measured. These experiments were carried out under the condition of force-feed lubrication. As a result, this method could detect all occurrence of the pitting in the dry condition. To improve the accuracy of the detected length of the damage area, the definition of the value of the first-stage threshold and smoothing of the different data was important. Furthermore, to apply this method to a helical gear, we made the three-dimensional model which located the relation between the helical gear and the laser sensor, and derived the conditional equation that the helical gear can be irradiated by the laser sensor along the tooth trace of the helical gear. By using this equation, we can diagnose the helical gear as well as a spur gear.

    We developed a walking assist machine, which machine uses a spatial parallel link mechanism for the elderly or rehabilitants. The flat steps of the assist machine move in parallel with the ground and can support the legs of a person including the soles. The flat steps of the assist machine move in parallel with the ground and can support the legs of a person including the soles. To grasp the walking phase of each leg of the equipped person, pressure sensors were laid under the thenar eminence and the heel of the sole, and the pressure variation at each sensing point was measured. Furthermore, in order to support walking in indoors, we investigated the assist methods of turning around during walking and walking on a slope or stairs. A flexible link was installed in the mechanism for taking into account the twisting motions of the waist and ankle. To grasp the behavior of turning around during walking of the equipped person, pressure sensors were attached outside of the flexible link in both crural parts of the machine. As a result of the experiment wearing the machine, the equipped person could turn around during walking at will.

    TANAKA Eiichirou, HOUJOH Haruo

    VS tech : the ... International Symposium on Advanced Technology of Vibration and Sound   2005   35 - 40  2005年

     概要を見る

    A method for predicting gear noise produced by a gear system was developed. This method calculates the distribution of sound pressure around the gearbox and identifies the areas from which noise radiates intensely. According to the sound-power level calculated from this pressure distribution, a low-noise gearbox was designed by adding ribs. The appropriate adding points were then calculated from the viewpoint of mass variation. It was found that to decrease the noise, ribs should be added in two places: (i) along the line with maximum curvature through the antinode of the gearbox's vibration mode or (ii) the minimum-length line which crosses the most contour lines through the maximum point of the sound-pressure contour map. It was also found that in the case of a gearbox with a vibration mode in which the gearbox side faces vibrate in opposite directions, noise can be effectively reduced by connecting the ribs on both side faces.

    MPT ... Fukuoka : the JSME international conference on motion and power transmissions   ( 1 ) 109 - 114  2001年11月

     概要を見る

    A new method - utilizing gear-vibration analysis and finite-element-method (FEM) analysis - for calculating the three-dimensional-vibration behavior of a multi-stage helical gear system including a gearbox has been developed. First, to predict three-dimensional multi-stage helical gear vibration, each gear was modeled with six-DOF (degrees of freedom) ; three translational motions, and three swing motions. Stiffness matrices for each gear shaft and for each tooth meshing were made and overlapped into a stiffness matrix for the total system. Next, an FEM model of the gear system, which included separate models for the gearbox, gear shafts, gear meshings, bearings, and legs of the gearbox, was made. The results of a three-dimensional gear-vibration analysis were input into the model, to obtain the vibration responses of the gearbox. The calculated eigen frequencies and vibration responses of the gearbox agreed well with measured values.
