PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a support system for a standing-up motion through a smooth posture movement while alleviating a burden on a user's body in standing-up from a chair which is a start point of his or her daily life behavior.SOLUTION: A life support system includes: a robot 2 including a body part 21, a moving device 22 for moving the body part in a self-supporting state, a handle part 23 provided to the body part which can be gripped by a user, and a handle load detection part 27 for detecting a handle load that the user applies to the handle part； a support control device for controlling the movement of a seat surface 31 with respect to the standing-up motion of the user seated on a chair 3 based on the detected handle load； and a communication part for transmitting support control information including a moving speed at which the seat surface is moved to the chair, to the chair through a communication network. The support control device includes a seat surface speed calculation part for calculating a speed at which the seat surface is inclined with respect to a floor surface where the chair is placed as the moving speed based on the detected handle load.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1【課題】生活行動の起点となる椅子からの立ち上がりにおいて、ユーザの身体の負担を軽減し、スムーズな姿勢移動を通じて、立ち上がり動作の支援システムを提供する。【解決手段】本体部２１、本体部を自立させた状態にて移動させる移動装置２２、本体部に設けられ、ユーザが把持可能なハンドル部２３、およびユーザが前記ハンドル部にかけるハンドル荷重を検出するハンドル荷重検出部２７を含むロボット２と、検出されたハンドル荷重に基づいて、椅子３に着座しているユーザの立ち上がる動きに対する座面３１の移動を制御する支援制御装置と、椅子に座面を移動させる移動速度を含む支援制御情報を、通信ネットワークを通じて椅子へ送信する通信部と、を備え、支援制御装置は、検出したハンドル荷重に基づいて、椅子が置かれる床面に対して座面を傾ける速度を前記移動速度として算出する座面速度算出部を含む。【選択図】図１
