<p>A support device comprising: a force measurement sensor structure comprising a shaft having first and second end sections, an intermediate element movably provided between the first and second end sections, first and second elastic members provided between each of the first and second end sections and the intermediate element, a linear potentiometer that detects the one-dimensional direction position of the intermediate element, and a gripping unit that operates in conjunction with upper or lower arm movement and transmits force to the intermediate element; a drive unit that changes the load applied to the intermediate element; a control unit that controls the drive unit; and a mounting unit comprising a main frame that is hung over the shoulders and fixes the drive unit, a waist belt that attaches the main frame to the torso, and an arm attached to the main frame and which suspends a wire that connects the force measurement sensor structure and the drive unit. The first and second elastic members can apply a load to the intermediate element in the one-dimensional direction, and measure the force applied to the intermediate element, by using the linear potentiometer. The control unit controls the drive unit in accordance with the force applied to the intermediate element.</p> |
