WEARABLE INPUT DEVICE, HUMAN ASSISTANCE DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD FOR THE HUMAN ASSISTANCE DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stably and smoothly assisting the movement of a wearer.

SOLUTION: The wearable input device 100 includes: an external ocular muscle biosignal detector 140 for detecting an external ocular muscle biosignal according to the movement direction of the eyeball of the wearer 12; a head movement detector 150 for detecting the movement direction of the head of the wearer 12; a body trunk position detector 120 for detecting the position of the body trunk of the wearer 12; a vision direction determinator 170 for determining the movement direction of the eyeball based on the detected external ocular muscle signal; a head movement direction determinator 180 for determining the direction of the head based on a difference between a head detecting signal obtained by the head movement detector 150 and a body trunk position detecting signal obtained by the body trunk position detector 120; a movement direction predicting unit 190 for predicting the movement of the wearer 12 in a direction in which the vision direction as a determination result of the vision direction determinator 170, and the head movement direction as a determination result of the head movement direction determinator 180 are coincide with each other; and an input unit 200 for inputting a prediction result into the human assistance device.
