PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transfer assisting apparatus with a simple configuration, for providing a proper playback operation suitable to a person to be cared, and efficiently preventing such a situation that the person to be cared is tucked and pressed in the playback operation.SOLUTION: This transfer assisting apparatus 10 includes: a supporting pedestal 12, a strut 13, a body holder 30, a drive unit 20, a position detecting sensor 80, a storage unit 70, a contact detecting sensor 40 and a control unit 50. In an operation for causing the body holder 30 to approach the person P to be cared so that the person P to be cared who sits on a seat 60 can be held on the body holder 30, the control section 50 stops the movement of the body holder 30 when the contact detecting sensor 40 detects contact when the position of the body holder 30 is moved so as to follow a previously set target track and causes the storage unit 70 to store the stop position, and controls the drive unit 20 on the basis of the number of times of stopping at the stored position.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for estimating muscle power produced by a worker, and a device to forecast a work load applied to him/her. SOLUTION: The muscle power estimating method includes a measurement step, an estimated joint angle calculation step, an estimated joint torque calculation step, and an estimated muscle power calculation step. The measurement step measures the quantity of a person's relevant joint state at a present time t including its angle, and also external forces acting on him/her. The estimated joint angle calculation step calculates an estimated joint angle at a time t+dt from the quantity of joint state measured at the measurement step. The estimated joint torque calculation step calculates an estimated joint torque produced by the joint with an estimated angle at the time t+dt. The estimated muscle power calculation step calculates an estimated muscle power at the time t+dt by substituting the estimated joint torque in a musculo-skeletal model formula that states the relations between joint torque and muscle power to generate it.
