  • Publication number: 20230148908
    Abstract: An action state estimation apparatus is provided that includes a sampling portion, a statistic calculation portion, an action state model storage, and an estimation calculation portion. The sampling portion samples a displacement measurement signal within a predetermined time and generates displacement measurement data. The statistic calculation portion calculates a statistic of the displacement measurement data. The action state model storage stores an action state model modeled by associating the statistic with a loaded state of a muscle of the test subject. The estimation calculation portion estimates the loaded state by setting the statistic as an input vector and using the action state model.

  • Publication number: 20230148906
    Abstract: An action state estimation apparatus is provided that includes a sampling portion, an action state model storage, and an estimation calculation portion. The sampling portion samples a displacement measurement signal within a predetermined time and generates displacement measurement data based on the sampled displacement measurement signal. The action state model storage stores an action state model modeled by associating the displacement measurement data with a loaded state of a muscle of the test subject. The estimation calculation portion then estimates the loaded state by setting the displacement measurement data as an input vector and using the action state model.
