A travel route creation system which creates a travel route for a personal mobility vehicle, the system including a controller configured to create the travel route in which an entering angle to a bump or a slope is set within an angle range of 45? and more based on map data indicating the bump or the slope which the personal mobility vehicle can travel over, when creating the travel route for the personal mobility vehicle to pass the bump or the slope.

According to one embodiment, a bed system that is mechanically and electrically connectable to a main body of a medical image diagnosis apparatus includes a traveling unit and an interface. The traveling unit provided between the bed system and a floor surface. The interface configured to receive an operation of locking or unlocking driving of the traveling unit. The operation on the interface of locking or unlocking driving of the traveling unit is interlocked with electrical connection between the bed system and the main body.

A mobile transport device is provided which has leg-like mobility fittings and a useful surface. The useful surface is in particular a seat unit of a motor vehicle which can transport a person seated on the seat unit out of a motor vehicle to a destination by means of the leg-like mobility fittings and without any climbing.

A device (10) for assisted omnidirectional movement of hospital beds (12) and other omnidirectionally mobile loads, comprising: an L-shaped base structure (40); a first motor-driven steering wheel (41) set along a first arm of said L-shaped base structure (40); a second motor-driven steering wheel (42) set along a second arm of said L-shaped base structure (40); a third wheel (43) set in the corner point of said L-shaped base structure (40); said base structure (40) comprises means (30, 35) for engagement to said hospital beds (12) and other omnidirectionally mobile loads; and control means (50) to cause rotation and orientation said first motor-driven steering wheel (41) and said second motor-driven steering wheel (42); where said hospital beds (12) and other mobile loads comprise wheels (14), and the weight of said hospital beds (12) and other mobile loads is sustained only by said wheels (14).

Provided are a system and a method for providing navigation service for disabled people. The present invention crawls information necessary for free movement for a wheelchair on a road or a sidewalk, generates a database in which relevant road information is reflected, and provides navigation service based on the generated database, thereby enabling a disabled person to safely move to a destination.

A device for assisting a medical walker user in transitioning from a sitting position to a standing position as the medical walker user attempts to access the medical walker because the device incorporates a platform base which becomes stabilized by placing the weight of the medical walker user on the platform base which in turn stabilizes the medical walker via each automatic movement restrictor assembly (AMRA) attached to the platform base because each AMRA automatically engages/captures each of the medical walker's two front axles as the medical walker's two front wheels impact each of the two AMRAs additionally such that the device will automatically move from a position of engagement with the medical walker's two front axles to a position of disengagement with the medical walker's two front axles when the medical walker along with the medical walker's two front wheels leave/exit the device's AMRAs.

A patient couch with a control system and a method for controlling the patient couch are provided. The control system is based on a three-dimensional (3D) camera for recording first 3D images of a recording area. The 3D camera is attached to the patient couch. An image processing unit for identifying at least one control gesture in the first 3D images allows a safe and fast control of the x-ray device. In order to carry out the control, the control system includes a control unit with a motor for controlling a movement of the patient couch based on the first control gesture.

A care method and a care robot that can simplify care and reduce the burden on a caregiver, in particular the burden on the caregiver during the transfer of a care receiver. A sheet is spread out on top of a bed, and the care receiver is laid on the sheet. The sheet is formed so that both ends thereof have parts to be held that are held by arms of a robot. The robot and the arms are positioned relative to the care receiver, and the robot is moved towards the bed so that the arms hold the parts to be held. The arms are raised by a predetermined distance, and when the arms are in the raised state, the robot is moved away from the bed.

A power transfer system comprises a patient support apparatus and a separate power transfer device. The patient support apparatus comprises a support structure having a base and a patient support surface for a patient and wheels coupled to the support structure to facilitate movement of the patient support apparatus over a floor surface. One or more of the wheels includes a power receiver integrated therewith. The power transfer device is energizeable to interact with the wheel to facilitate power transfer between the power transfer device and the power receiver through the wheel.
