Abstract
A grasp detection deviceincludes: a capacitance measurerconfigured to measure a capacitance of an electrodeprovided in a steering handleof a vehicle; a grasp detectorconfigured to detect grasp of the steering handle by a driver based on comparison between a capacitance measurement Ch_d by the capacitance measurerand a grasp threshold Ch_thr; and a threshold setterconfigured to set the grasp threshold Ch_thr based on a torque detection value Tr_d by a torque sensorand the capacitance measurement Ch_d, the torque sensorbeing configured to detect steering torque. The threshold settersets the grasp threshold Ch_thr based on the torque detection value Tr_d and the capacitance measurement Ch_d at the time when the vehicle is in a specific driving state, and the torque detection value Tr_d exceeds a torque threshold.
