Abstract

The purpose of this paper is an estimation of driving torque by using an external sensor. This paper deals with an estimation method of driving torque and physical parameters. This research have been estimated the driving torque of each joints as the force. Future, this research will design an estimation system of a myoelectric signal using an external sensor. Moreover, we aim to design an evaluation system of the ability to exercise using obtained biosignal.
