摘要：To assist not only motor function but also perception ability of elderly and/or handicappedpersons, the power-assist robots which have perception-assist function have been developed.These robots can automatically modify the user’s motion when the robot detects inappropriateuser’s motion or a possibility of accident such as collision between the user and obstacles. Forthis motion modification in perception-assist, some actuators of power-assist robot are used. Onthe other hand, since some elderly persons, handicapped persons or some workers need not usepower-assist function but perception-assist function only, another new concept perception-assistmethod was investigated in our previous study. In this perception-assist method, only vibratorsare used for generating motion change with kinesthetic illusion to assist perception-ability only.In this study, since the perception-assist is often used during tasks under a loaded condition, thefeatures of motion change under the loaded condition are investigated.
