Abstract
In developing service robots, safety should be considered carefully, since robots share the space with people who do not have technical backgrounds on the operation of robots. A powered orthosis is one of the most severe examples. We have been studying an upper limb motion assist system. The aim of the system is to help a disabled person move his/her arm by his/her own will, by hanging the arm with strings and changing the length of each string. We have built an experimental system to examine the motion obtained with this system
