Inter-personal interaction for handwrite training ∼ a study for development of handwrite skill training robot ∼

摘要

In this paper, we focus on handwrite training, generally utilized at our daily life, and discuss the training robot to support learning precise control of draw-stroke efficiently. Concretely we developed handwrite support device with inter-personal interaction with exchanging visual image of handwriting motion, and evaluate the effectiveness of the method. As the result, it was clarified that the draw-stroke motion became precise with the inter-personal training, realizing the draw-stroke control not only by visual feedback but also by feed-forward with internal Body Image information. Accordingly, to realize the efficient learning of draw-stroke motion, we suggest that the inter-personal interactive handwrite support is effective training paradigm which can realize improvement of Body Image by the visual feedback and the smooth control of draw-stoke motion with the Body Image and anticipatory motor control.
