A study on young and elderly people's working area of each arm on a table for dual manipulator with human arm motion characteristics

The purpose of this study is to obtain the age characteristics of the human arm motion area for constructing a manipulator system, which having the same characteristics. In order to explore the basic data for constructing the manipulator, a human arm motion experiment was conducted. In this experiment, the motion of transferring an object on a table was employed as a target motion; especially the data about the characteristics of the area of using the right arm were collected. Before the experiment, dual manipulator system based on human arm size was constructed in order to introduce the characteristics of human arm motion. The analysis of human arm motion revealed that the area where the 50% using of right arm. The subjects of this experiment were elderly people and young people. Comparing the data of young and elderly people, we clarified the age characteristics of the human arm motion area.
