Despite the declining birthrate and aging population, the labor shortage in the long-term care industry has not been improved due to the heavy burden on long-term care workers. Against this background, various transfer assistance robots have been proposed. We are currently investigating a robot that can assist in transferring a patient from a nursing bed to a wheelchair. The transfer assistance robot needs to be created taking into account the various body size differences of the caregivers. This paper describes the dimensions and mechanism of the nursing robot according to the difference in body size. Also, we design a nursing care robot that can be transferred comfortably by reducing the physical and mental burden on the person being assisted.
