  • Publication number: 20200410892
    Abstract: A processing system capable of educating a training assistant, who assists a trainee when the trainee performs rehabilitation by using a walking training apparatus, in order to enable the training assistant to appropriately assist the trainee is provided. The processing system includes a determination unit and an output unit. The determination unit determines an adjustment-required parameter, the adjustment-required parameter being, among parameters that can be adjusted in a walking training apparatus, a parameter of which a frequency of adjustments by a training assistant who assists a trainee performing walking training in the walking training apparatus or by an assistant in a hospital other than the training assistant is lower than an adjustment criterion. The output unit outputs parameter information indicating the adjustment-required parameter and effect information indicating an adjustment effect that is obtained when the adjustment-required parameter is adjusted.

  • Publication number: 20200410385
    Abstract: A learning unit of a learning system generates a learning model, the learning model being configured to input rehabilitation data about rehabilitation and predict feedback control to be performed, the rehabilitation being performed by a trainee using a rehabilitation support system. The rehabilitation support system performs the feedback control based on motivation information of the trainee. The rehabilitation data includes at least training data including the motivation information of the trainee and feedback information indicating the feedback control. The learning unit generates the learning model by using, as teacher data, the rehabilitation data that is obtained when the motivation information is one that causes such a change that the motivation of the trainee is improved.

  • Publication number: 20200410341
    Abstract: A learning unit of a learning system generates the following learning model. That is, this learning model is a model that inputs, for each predetermined period, rehabilitation data about rehabilitation performed by a trainee using a rehabilitation support system, and predicts a change in a setting parameter. The setting parameter is a setting parameter in the rehabilitation support system that is used when the trainee performs the rehabilitation. The rehabilitation data includes at least index data, trainee data, and training data, the index data indicating at least one of a symptom, a physical ability, and a degree of recovery of the trainee, the trainee data indicating a feature of the trainee, the training data including the setting parameter. Further, the learning unit generates a learning model by using, as teacher data, data obtained in a period until the index data reaches a predetermined target level.

  • Publication number: 20200363817
    Abstract: An autonomous moving apparatus control system including a range sensor, a reflection plate, and a control unit. The range sensor is installed in a cage of an elevator and detects a distance to an object by receiving reflected light of signal light applied to the object. The reflection plate is disposed in an elevator hall of a floor on which the elevator stops, and reflects the signal light. The control unit determines whether or not a mobile robot, which is an autonomous moving apparatus, can get on and off the elevator based on a detected distance, the detected distance being a distance to the reflection plate detected by the range sensor.
