摘要: We have been developing the wearable muscle suit for direct and physical motion supports. The use of McKibben artificial has opened way to introduction “muscle suits” compact, lightweight, reliable, “assist-bots” enabling manual worker lift carry weights. Since back pain is most serious problem worker, improvement support under feasibility study quantitative estimation are shown in this paper. structure upper body frame, method attach body, axes addition were explained as improvement. In experiments, we investigated performance results efficiency terms vertical lifting heavy weights by employing integral electromyography (IEMG). indicated that values IEMG reduced about 40% using suit.
