In this paper, to construct the system, which can assist daily activities of physically weak person more smartly, we propose a new wearable antigravity muscles support system, which supports antigravity muscles based on the posture and motion of user. In this system, a dynamics-based control algorithm for the device without using biological signals is implemented to the wearable antigravity muscles support device. Experimental results show the potential of this proposed system.
