Abstract
This paper presents a framework of simulation-based design for robotic care devices developed to reduce the burden of caregiver and care receivers. First, physical interaction between the user and device is quantitatively estimated by using a digital human simulator. Then we introduce a method for optimizing the design parameters according to given evaluation criteria. An example of trajectory optimization of transfer support robot is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
