Industrial robots have been the driving force of the technological establishment of Japan, which has produced a wide variety of low-cost, high-quality products. In these days, because of an aging society where children are decreasing in number, robots are expected to be developed for supporting human daily life. However, few provide physical support or can directly provide human assistance.
