In the near future, a labor shortage will constitute a significant problem in the fields of welfare and nursing care. To solve this problem, researchers are developing rehabilita tion and welfare robots such as motion-assist robots and life support robots. The purpose of this study was to develop a meal-assist robot that can help a disabled person with hand tremor. We used a proxy-based sliding-mode control for sensorless admittance control and applied tremor suppres sion control that uses the resonance of proxy-based sliding control. The effectiveness of this system is shown with the newly developed meal-assist robot MARo.
