Development of Power Assisting Suit for Assisting Nurse Labor

摘要: In order to realize a power assisting suit for nurse caring patient in her arm, hardness sensor of muscle using load cell and pneumatic rotary actuator utilizing pressure cuffs have been developed. The consists shoulders, arms, waist legs made aluminum, is fitted on the body. originated with concept master slave system one actuators. actuators are constructed sandwiched between thin plates. action sensed diaphragm mounted sensing tip. dent tip corresponds so that exerting force produces electric signal. This paper gives design characteristics cuff type verifying its practicability.
