Three Dimensional Human Condition Model during Walking Based on Emotion Estimation and Muscle Fatigue Evaluation

We have developed walking assistance system considering the condition of the emotion and fatigue. This system consists of the emotion estimation, the fatigue evaluation, decision function of the walking condition, and walking assistive device. We already made the emotion estimation system, and obtained the method of muscle fatigue evaluation by NIRS, and the walking assistive device. To complete the decision function, it is necessary to recognize the current condition of the user’s emotion and fatigue. In this paper, we proposed the three dimensional human condition model to decide the suitable walking setting. Finally, the example of using this model and the importance of the recognition both emotion and fatigue were shown.
