Abstract
An information processing device includes: an exoskeleton robot worn on a hand of a user; and a controller that controls the exoskeleton robot, the exoskeleton robot including: a palm module fixed to the hand of the user; a finger joint module detachably attached to the palm module; and a fingertip module detachably attached to the finger joint module and fixed to a finger of the user, in which the finger joint module is configured to have at least one of a function of driving the fingertip module or a function of sensing the fingertip module.
Claims19
An information processing device, comprising:
- an exoskeleton robot configured to be worn on a hand of a user;
- and
- a controller including circuitry configured to control the exoskeleton robot,
- wherein the exoskeleton robot includes
- a palm module configured to be fixed to the hand of the user,
- a finger joint module configured to be detachably attached to the palm module, and
- a fingertip module configured to be detachably attached to the finger joint module and fixed to a finger of the user,
- wherein the finger joint module is configured to have at least one of a function of driving the fingertip module or a function of sensing the fingertip module, and
- wherein the fingertip module includes
- a body configured to extend along the finger of the user,
- a band configured to extend from the body in such a manner as to cover a part of the finger of the user, and
- a holder configured to hold the band, the holder being disposed on a side opposite to the finger of the user across the body.
An information processing method comprising:
- controlling an exoskeleton robot worn on a hand of a user,
- wherein the exoskeleton robot includes
- a palm module configured to be fixed to the hand of the user,
- a finger joint module configured to be detachably attached to the palm module, and
- a fingertip module configured to be detachably attached to the finger joint module and fixed to a finger of the user,
- wherein the finger joint module is further configured to have at least one of a function of driving the fingertip module or a function of sensing the fingertip module, and
- wherein the fingertip module includes
- a body configured to extend along the finger of the user,
- a band configured to extend from the body in such a manner as to cover a part of the finger of the user, and
- a holder configured to hold the band, the holder being disposed on a side opposite to the finger of the user across the body.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon an information processing program, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to execute a method, the method comprising:
- controlling an exoskeleton robot worn on a hand of a user,
- wherein the exoskeleton robot includes
- a palm module configured to be fixed to the hand of the user,
- a finger joint module configured to be detachably attached to the palm module, and
- a fingertip module configured to be detachably attached to the finger joint module and fixed to a finger of the user,
- wherein the finger joint module is configured to have at least one of a function of driving the fingertip module or a function of sensing the fingertip module, and
- wherein the fingertip module includes
- a body configured to extend along the finger of the user,
- a band configured to extend from the body in such a manner as to cover a part of the finger of the user, and
- a holder configured to hold the band, the holder being disposed on a side opposite to the finger of the user across the body.
