Title:
SIGNAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2008178973
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a platform for rehabilitative exercise of a patient as well as an entertainment device.

This signal communication system is equipped with an operation sensor that communicates with an actuator of a robotic apparatus and is attached to a human for measuring his or her physical movements. The operation sensor communicates with a power source and a transceiver. The transceiver communicates with a central processing unit of the robotic apparatus. The central processing unit receives and processes a sensor signal and communicates with the actuator about the input detected with the sensor. The sensor detects an input of a position, speed, acceleration, and power of the human and relates the measured movements of the human to movements of the robotic apparatus.
