Abstract
A motion assist device for assisting a periodical motion of a creature such as a human by applying a force with appropriate strength to the creature so as to match a motion scale with a desired motion scale thereof regardless of a motion rhythm of the periodical motion. According to the motion assist device (), a second model is corrected so as to approximate a value of a motion variable (ξ) to a desired value (ξ). A second oscillator (ξ) is generated according to the corrected second model. A periodical force (torque) (T) applied to the human (P) is controlled according to the second oscillator (ξ).
