the movable portion includes a sensor configured to acquire biological information of the seated person,
wherein the sensor comprises a plurality of sensors,
the movable portion includes a wiring network in a matrix shape formed by a plurality of vertical wirings and a plurality of horizontal wirings, and
the plurality of sensors is disposed at intersections of the vertical wirings and the horizontal wirings.
2. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the movable portion is configured to transmit the rocking motion to the seated person based on the biological information of the seated person acquired by the sensor.
3. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor is disposed on an upper surface of the movable portion.
4. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor is a strain sensor configured to measure a weight of the seated person.
5. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor is a strain sensor or a piezoelectric sensor configured to detect vibration caused by heartbeat or respiration of the seated person.
6. The vehicle seat according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor is an electric field sensor or a magnetic sensor configured to detect a nerve signal or a myoelectric signal of the seated person.
7. A vehicle seat, comprising:
a seat back configured to support a back of a seated person;
a seat cushion configured to support buttocks of the seated person;
a frame configured to support the seat cushion and the seat back; and
a rocking unit including a drive mechanism fixed to the frame and a movable portion supported by the drive mechanism, the movable portion being configured to abut against the seated person and transmit rocking motion of the drive mechanism to the seated person, wherein:
the movable portion includes a sensor configured to acquire biological information of the seated person,
wherein the movable portion is formed of a substantially triangular cushion pad that has front edges inclined to approach each other toward a front end in plan view, and
the sensor is disposed in an area away from the front end in the triangular cushion pad.
8. A method of producing a vehicle seat, comprising:
providing a seat back for supporting a back of a seated person;
providing a seat cushion for supporting buttocks of the seated person;
providing a frame for supporting the seat cushion and the seat back; and
providing a rocking unit including a drive mechanism fixed to the frame and a movable portion supported by the drive mechanism, the movable portion being configured to abut against the seated person and transmit rocking motion of the drive mechanism to the seated person, wherein:
