Abstract

We conducted R&D on wearable nursing robots as powered suits doubling as man-machine systems. In order to develop such a system, we studied physical static and dynamic considerations in designing assistance systems. We propose self-impedance matching (SIM) to evaluate system maneuverability based on energy flowing between the user and robot. The proposed SIM proved very effective in improving single-arm assistance maneuverability.
