A61G5/125
Robotic wheelchair
Provided is a robot. The robot includes a main body provided with a traveling wheel, a seat base coupled to an upper portion of the main body, a seat pad configured to cover the seat base at an upper side of the seat base, a pair of arm supporters connected to both sides of the seat base, respectively, and a pair of moving mechanisms disposed between the seat base and the seat pad, the pair of moving mechanisms being configured to allow the pair of arm supporters to move forward and backward.
Assisted standing and walking device with lateral gait control
An assisted standing and walking device for a user with at least one side paralysis or weakness is provided with provisions for assisted transitioning of the user from a seated position to a standing position prior to walking in the assisted standing and walking device with user friendly attachment and release with controlled limitation of lateral gait movement that occurs in lateral walking gait motion.
Robot
Provided is a robot including a seating body provided with a seat and an armrest body and a steering, the steering housing has an opening in an upper portion thereof and an inner space therein is disposed on the armrest body. The steering includes a handle and a lower portion passing through the opening, the lower portion being accommodated in the inner space and an elevator accommodated in the inner space, the elevator being connected to the lower portion of the steering body to elevate the steering body.
Elevated Height Wheelchair
The present disclosure includes a wheelchair configured to reposition an occupant between a lowered and a raised position. The wheelchair can include a frame, a seat moveable relative to the frame, a drive wheel, one or more pairs of arm assemblies, and one or more sensors. The arm assembly includes a wheel configured to move from a first spatial location when the wheelchair is operating on flat, level ground to a second spatial location that is different than the first spatial location. Arm limiters can selectively engage the arm assembly based on at least one of a seat position, position of the arm assembly, and surface conditions of ground surface. The arm limiters can limit the range of motion of the arm assembly and sometimes other operational aspects of the chair.
MODULAR WHEELCHAIR SYSTEM
A convertible transport system including a seat portion, a back support portion, and a pivoting mechanism coupled to the seat portion and to the back support portion. The pivoting mechanism is configured to adjust and lock the back support portion relative to the seat portion, the pivoting mechanism having three operative states: a free pivoting state allowing the back support portion to pivot relative to the seat portion about an axis; a ratcheting state allowing the back support portion to only pivot toward the seat portion about the axis; and a locking state in which the pivoting mechanism is locked to thereby prevent a pivoting movement of the back support portion relative to the seat portion.
Convertible telepresence robot
The material contained in this disclosure pertains to robotics related to convertible robots incorporating telecommunication elements. Embodiments of the system and apparatuses described can facilitate instant communication with family and friends, health status monitoring and support from caregivers; and promote optimal health, longevity, and independent living by providing high-tech economical solutions at each stage of the aging process. Embodiments of the system and apparatuses may be converted from an independent telecommunications robot, to a robotic walker, to a robotic wheelchair.
Wheelchair rear wheel support assembly and detachable armrest
A wheelchair rear wheel support assembly and a detachable arm assembly is described. The rear wheel support assembly is adjustable by finite adjustment both in the horizontal and vertical planes whereby to adjust the position of the rear wheels at a center of gravity to suit a user person to optimize the efforts of propulsion of the wheelchair by the user and thereby significantly increasing its quality of life. The detachable armrest is easily adjustable in height and can be pivoted away from its position of use by simple hand-operating levers easily accessible to the user person. It can also be easily removed with little effort.

A powered balancing mobility device that can provide the user the ability to safely navigate expected environments of daily living including the ability to maneuver in confined spaces and to climb curbs, stairs, and other obstacles, and to travel safely and comfortably in vehicles. The mobility device can provide elevated, balanced travel.
Chair for supporting a person who is feeding a baby
The present invention relates to a chair for supporting a person feeding a baby. The chair includes a seat. The chair includes an armrest operatively connected to the seat. The armrest is selectively rotatable about a vertical axis, and moveable forward/rearward, laterally inward/outward and vertically relative to the seat. The armrest is shaped to receive a baby thereon.
Electric wheelchair
An electric wheelchair according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a frame configured to support a seat, a driver configured to be coupled to a lower portion of the frame, armrests configured to be coupled to both sides of the frame, and a controller configured to be detachably coupled to the armrest, in which the controller is coupled so as to shield an opening formed in the armrest and is electrically connected to a connector located inside the armrest. The wheelchair includes a robot.
