Provided is a robot including a main body having a traveling wheel and a traveling motor for rotating the traveling wheel, a seating body disposed above the main body, a left projector disposed at a left side of the main body to scan a beam toward a left lower direction, a right projector disposed at a right side of the main body to scan a beam toward a right lower direction, and a processor for controlling the traveling motor, the left projector, and the right projector.

A toilet comprising a frame; a bowl supported by the frame; a seat also supported by the frame; a shroud for covering the frame; at least one lift mechanism supported by the frame for adjusting the position of the bowl or seat; at least one sensor for capturing at least one property of a user; and a processor adapted to analyze the at least one property to determine a characteristic of the user is disclosed.

In one embodiment, a wheelchair device includes a frame adapted to be removably mounted to a wheelchair, a slide member supported by the frame that is configured to be pushed in a forward direction away from a user of the device with the user's arm, a transmission mechanism including a rotatable reel and a spring associated with the reel that resists rotation of the reel in a first direction and assists rotation of the reel in a second direction, and a cable having first and second ends, the first end of the cable being attached to the slide member and the second end being attached to the rotatable reel. With such a configuration, movement of the slide member in the forward direction causes the rotatable reel to rotate in the first direction and movement of the slide member in a backward direction opposite to the forward direction causes the rotatable reel to rotate in the second direction.

A folding wheelchair with an excretion device has a foldable chair frame, a supporting device on the chair frame under a seat which is also foldable together with the chair frame, a wash device for cleansing and a wipe device for wiping. The folding wheelchair allows its user to perform excretion and cleansing by himself without leaving the wheelchair, saving the self-esteem for the users and reducing the burdens for the caregivers.

The utility model discloses a novel nursing bed and chair system. The system includes a bed frame. The bed frame is provided with a backrest portion, a footrest portion and a cushion portion. The backrest portion and the footrest portion are connected to the cushion portion in a vertically rotatable manner, respectively. One end of the footrest portion, remote from the cushion portion, is provided with a foot pad portion. The foot pad portion is rotatably connected to the footrest portion. The system further includes a backrest push rod and a footrest push rod with outer housings being fixed to the bed frame. An actuator of the backrest push rod is fixedly connected to the back of the backrest portion. The outer housing of the footrest push rod is fixed to the bed frame, and an actuator of the footrest push rod is connected to a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes a transmission frame and an L-shaped support frame. One end of the transmission frame is rotatably connected to the bed frame, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the L-shaped support frame. The other end of the L-shaped support frame is connected to one end of the foot pad portion remote from the footrest portion. The actuator of the footrest push rod is fixedly connected to the transmission frame. By adopting the utility model, a higher degree of automation can be achieved.

A folding electric wheelchair with elevating seat that provides the user an electronic driving system powered by two lithium-ion batteries that is sealed to be weatherproof, able to drive over different terrain types and slope grades on any given day whether it's raining or sunny, lightweight, and portable for transportation, travel-friendly, compact in overall size when in the folded position to fit into a small space for storage. An ergonomically contoured seat with an actuator that can raise and lower the seat base overall height. A bump dampening and terrain vibration system with the supporting frame pieces (34), (42), and (50) having an oval shape. The manner of how the embodiment operates to fold and unfold consists of specific hinge joint embodiments including: (46), (48), (58) and (64).

An exoskeleton wheelchair system includes a base, one or more wheels coupled to the base, a body support connected to the base comprising: a back support; and one or more leg supports pivotally coupled to the back support, and a gait wheel linked with the one or more leg supports via one or more gait linkages and configured to rotate the one or more leg supports. The one or more leg supports are configured to pivot about a first axis when the back support is in a standing position mode. The back support is maintained at a fixed position relative to a location of the base when the one or more leg supports pivot about the first axis while the back support is in the standing position mode.

Embodiments described herein are directed to a wheelchair system that includes a wheelchair and an exoskeleton. The wheelchair includes a frame, a pair of armrests coupled to the frame, and a control unit. The pair of armrests movable between an attached position and a detached position. When in the attached position, each one of the pair of armrests are coupled to the frame and when in the detached position, each one of the pair of armrests is removed from the frame. The exoskeleton is communicatively coupled to the control unit via a cable extending between the exoskeleton and the control unit. The exoskeleton being releasably coupled to at least a portion of the frame of the wheelchair. The wheelchair system is translatable between a wheelchair mode and an exoskeleton mode such that, when in the exoskeleton mode, the control unit provides electrical power and control signals to the exoskeleton.

The disclosed invention is a multi-motion chair with motorized movement that provides continuous therapeutic movement. The therapeutic chair utilizes multiple pivoting points for the back, seat, legs, and arms. Pivoting motors and linear actuators are installed at rotatable points of the chair and provide multiple ways of activating therapeutic motion. The therapeutic motion is directed by a programmable controller which can move the chair in a continuous motion automatically without additional input from the user and therefore helps to reduce joint and muscle stress or pain while seated for long periods of time.
