Abstract
Development of technologies for people with disabilities is necessary to improve the quality of life of elderly people in the future aging society. A light compact arm balancer with three-dimensional acceleration sensors accomplishes that goal. This device particularly features a motion analysis system. Results of experiments show that the program ascertains the speed from the acceleration sensor input. The system has an actual operating principle that is simple and reliable.
