  • Patent number: 11996001
    Abstract: A walking training apparatus is a motion support system that includes a walking assistance apparatus as an assistance apparatus, a selected assistance level setting unit, a load data acquisition unit, an angle sensor as a displacement sensor, and an overall control unit as a control unit. The assistance apparatus assists a motion of a joint performed by a user. The assistance level setting unit sets an assistance level that is a level of a force exerted by the assistance apparatus. The load data acquisition unit acquires load data related to a load of the assistance apparatus. The displacement sensor detects a displacement of the joint. The control unit determines a recommended assistance level, which is an assistance level to be recommended, based on the assistance level, the load data, and an output of the displacement sensor, and outputs information about the determined recommended assistance level.

  • Patent number: 11929173
    Abstract: The server is a learning apparatus including a data acquisition unit and a learning unit. The data acquisition unit acquires profile data and a selected assistance level as learning data. The profile data indicates a profile related to a trainee before executing rehabilitation regarding rehabilitation executed using a walking training apparatus as a rehabilitation support system. The selected assistance level is an assistance level selected at the time of executing the rehabilitation. The learning unit learns to determine a recommended assistance level recommended to be selected when the trainee uses the rehabilitation support system based on the learning data. Further, the learning unit generates a trained model that receives the profile data and outputs the recommended assistance level based on the learning.

  • Publication number: 20220112039
    Abstract: A position correction system includes: one or more conveyer devices; an imaging device fixed to differential installation positions of the one or more conveyer devices and configured to image the robot to generate a plurality of captured images in a state in which the conveyer device has stopped at a predetermined stop position in a predetermined range from the robot; a position calculating device configured to calculate position coordinates of an actual reference point of the robot using the generated captured image; a correction value calculating device configured to calculate a correction value based on a difference between the calculated position coordinates of the actual reference point of the robot and position coordinates of a target reference point of the robot which is determined by simulation; and a position correcting device configured to correct the position of the actual reference point of the robot based on the calculated correction value.

  • Patent number: 11027429
    Abstract: A robot with a noncontact sensor is configured to: perform the predetermined motion in a state where the moving object does not enter, and thereby store, for each of a plurality of measurement points set in a movable range of the robot, an output value of the noncontact sensor as a reference output value in advance, and stop the predetermined motion when the output value of the noncontact sensor changes from the reference output value at the measurement point closest to a current operating position of the robot by a first threshold value or larger when the robot is performing the predetermined motion in a state where the moving object could possibly enter and the current operating position of the robot is in a range in which it is necessary to determine an entering state of the moving object.
