Study on a High Performance Insole with Human Compatibility
In recent years, accidents of bone fracture with elderly people increase because of tendency to fallby a little step in a house. As one of this cause, it is considered that the center of gravity position with footparts is changed. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, we propose a new type of shoes with high performance by making use of sponge-core-soft rubber actuator (SCSRA), Since, the actuator can estimate an external force by measurement of pressure in the chamber, the actuator can estimate the distribution of the external forces with foot parts. Therefore, the actuators can adjust the center of gravity position of the foot part. In this paper, the mechanism of the proposed shoes is explained and basic performances of the proposed mechanism are clarified through some experimental results.
