Introduction: Null

This device is a wearable motion support robot called a power assist robot. The declining birthrate and the aging of the population are progressing in Japan. Therefore, we want to make transportation work easier for the elderly. Using this robot makes it easy to carry heavy loads. In addition, it is also possible to hold the position of the arm by artificial muscle or pneumatic cylinder when hanging the laundry, and it is possible to reduce the work burden. In addition to that, it is also possible to support walking using two artificial muscles mounted on the lower limbs, and it is also possible to enjoy going out easily with ease. The drum brake mechanism is adopted in the vicinity of the hip joint, and it is structured to be able to support even when maintaining posture in half-sitting posture. I hope the world will be kind to the elderly and weak people.
