Since the structure and D.O.F. of human and machine are different, the motion of human and machine is essentially different. This study defines "Pseudo Human Motion" as approximated machine's motions referring to the standard human motion. If the pseudo human motion is realized, the operation of complex machine becomes easy, because the motion of complex machine becomes human-like motion...
This paper presents development of an evaluation system for easiness of manipulation of product shapes to design better product shapes. In developing the evaluation system, we concentrate mainly on manipulation which involves handling state such that even when the product is rotating it remains near the hand. The evaluation system consists of a glove type hand posture measuring instrument and physics...
This research focuses on the electric wheelchair controlled by Human Body Motion Interface (HBMI). HBMI uses the body motion which is caused by the voluntary motion. From our previous research, it has been confirmed that HBMI, which uses the center of weight on the pressure sensor attached on the backrest, has the ability of an interface. However the problem has also remained. The velocities of each...
This paper considers the degree of freedom (DoF) in the modeling of the hand. Human hand dexterously manipulates objects. When the hand model in computer application will be developed, It is necessary to think about approximate DoF for the real DoF of the joint of hand mechanism. Especially, the approximated DoF is evaluated from a view of dexterously manipulation of human hand. We have developed...
This paper classified the body motion which is not distinguished when an electric wheelchair is operated by Human Body Motion Interface (HBMI). HBMI uses the body motion which is caused by the voluntary motion. This research focuses on the operation of an electric wheelchair as a practical application of HBMI. It has been confirmed that HBMI, which uses the center of weight on the pressure sensor...
This research studies the possibility of an intuitive interface for an electric wheelchair by using human body except hands. For this purpose, we focused on the human body motion which has relation to actions or behaviors. This motion comes from the human stabilization function for holding expectable collapsing caused by voluntary motion. Thus this motion is considered as one of the characteristics...
