Abstract
To develop better assist function for a walking assist cart, we focused
on the prediction of the intention of a user. As the first step of the
research, the forces and torques to the cart from the user’s hands, and
the rotational velocities of the wheels are sensing. And the support vector
machine is used for intention classification. As a result, we confirmed
that our method was able to predict the intention of the user with enough
accuracy.
