Abstract

PURPOSE:To bring a physically handicapped person to simulation experience of sports, etc., by providing an assisting robot system for moving the body of a person to be experienced, and a computer for controlling each system, and operating each system, based on the contents of a selected experience menu. CONSTITUTION:A menu which a person to be experienced desires to experience is inputted to a computer. For instance, when skiing is selected from among experience menus, an image of a slope is reflected on a ceiling screen 3 in a capsule 1, an effect sound, a musical performance of music, and air conditioning which contains a temperature, humidity, smell, etc., in the capsule is executed, an auxiliary robot 8 attaches ski boards to feet of the person 2 to be experienced, and by an operation of an assisting robot 7, the person 2 to be experienced moves the body and hands and feet so as to slide actually on a slope in accordance with the image. The person to be experienced can feel actually as if he is skiing. In the case other menu is selected, as well, it is executed in the same way, and each system of an image, a sound, air conditioning and the assistant robot is operated in accordance with the contents of the menu, and the person to be experienced can execute a simulation experience.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention is a simulation device for providing a simulated experience of sports, travel, etc., mainly for people with physical disabilities such as the elderly and the physically disabled. Regarding.

[Conventional technology]

In modern times, with the transition to an aging society, measures for the leisure activities of the elderly and welfare measures for the physically disabled have become major social issues. Although some of these people are mentally active, their physical hump caps prevent them from actually experiencing sports, traveling, etc., which leads to a sense of idleness and loneliness, which in turn leads to desire. It is also a major cause of dissatisfaction and stress.

As a countermeasure to these problems, some efforts are being made to develop care systems that incorporate hobby-like elements, but currently, video and sound systems, such as those used in environmental video and karaoke, are the mainstream. Currently, nothing has been developed that fully satisfies the desires of elderly people and physically disabled people who want to be physically active.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Conventional care systems such as those described above are based on images and sounds, and do not include physical activity, making it impossible for patients to satisfy their desire to move their bodies and experience sports, travel, etc. .

The present invention was made in response to these problems, and is aimed at people with physical disabilities such as the elderly and the physically disabled.
Sports to suit selection menu.

Q3. A simulated experience car equipped with intelligent functions that allows you to simulate traveling etc. The purpose is to provide a lasing device.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problem 11B, the Siminireshiran device of the present invention includes a capsule that accommodates a person to be experienced, a video system, an audio system 1, an air conditioning system, an assistance robot system that moves the body of the person to be experienced in accordance with the video, and Equipped with a computer that links and controls each of these systems,
The systems are configured to operate based on selected experience menus such as sports and travel.

[Effect]

With the above configuration, when the subject selects the menu they want to experience and enters it into the computer, an image is projected on the video display inside the capsule according to the selected menu, and sound effects, music, temperature, humidity, and scent are displayed. At the same time, the attendant robot system (intelligent robot) moves the participant's torso, arms and legs in accordance with the video, allowing the participant to feel as if they were themselves in accordance with the video. You can immerse yourself in the experience of exercising yourself.

〔Example〕

1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the overall configuration of the Siminiresilan device, and FIG. 2 is a diagram of its control system.

First, in Fig. 1, 1 is a capsule that accommodates a person to experience 2. Inside the capsule 1, the ceiling surface is used as a screen 3, and in addition to video equipment 4 that projects images there, sound effects 2 and music are played. An audio device 5, an air conditioning unit 6 that sends air with reduced temperature, humidity, and odor into the capsule, and a multifunction device that supports the body of the subject 2 and moves the entire body's nine limbs in accordance with the images projected on the screen 2. An articulated assistance robot 7 and an auxiliary robot 8 that moves tools such as ski rackets and golf clubs in conjunction with the assistance robot 7F.
, and a combiator 9 that controls the operation of these various equipment systems.

Here, the experience menu includes various menus from sports fields such as skiing, tennis and golf, mountain climbing, travel, art fields such as playing musical instruments, adventure fields such as adventure and exploration, and other fields such as discussion groups. It also comes pre-installed with software that controls the video, audio, air conditioning, and robot systems in accordance with the menu. It is assumed that the video system is a three-dimensional video system that reproduces images three-dimensionally, and the attendant robot 7 is an intelligent robot that can determine actions based on its senses and recognition functions.

Then, when the person inputs the menu that he/she wants to experience into the comviator, various systems are operated according to commands from the comviator, and the selection menu is changed according to the selected menu. If you select skiing (sports), images of snowy mountains and ski slopes will be projected on the ceiling screen 3 inside the capsule, and sound effects, music playing, and the temperature inside the capsule will be displayed to further enhance the sense of reality. At the same time, the auxiliary robot 8 places the ski slope on the ski slope of the participant 2, and in this state, the assistance robot 7 moves the participant 2 to the ski slope in accordance with the video. By moving their bodies, arms and legs as if they were actually skiing, the participants can experience the feeling of actually skiing by moving their own arms and legs. It is also possible to provide a control function that allows the subject to freely control the ski while viewing the image on the screen, thereby changing the image on the screen in accordance with the maneuver.

The same thing applies when you select another menu, and the video and audio are adjusted according to the contents of that menu.

Air conditioning and care robot systems are in operation,
The person undergoing the experience can have a simulated experience.

It should be noted that such a shock absorbing device can be used by an unspecified number of elderly people, physically disabled people, etc. as part of their leisure activities by providing it in, for example, a nursing home with care.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the following effects can be achieved by the electric power deprivation device for simulated experience of the present invention.

(1) Even people with physical disabilities, such as the elderly and the physically disabled, can experience simulated sports, travel, etc. as if they were actually moving their limbs.

(2) As a result, people with hump caps in their physical activities can fully satisfy their desire to move their bodies and experience various things, and the transition to a physically disabled or aging society can be achieved. Actual effects can be obtained as a countermeasure for the leisure activities of the elderly.
