Abstract

HOT patients always need to carry portable oxygen cylinder when they go out. However the oxygen cylinder and its transport cart is heavy enough to become a burden for HOT patients. In this paper, we propose a new type of the oxygen cylinder conveyance robotic cart for HOT patients. Firstly, we describe the problems of Hyper-Tether type robotic cart, and then, we propose a new input device in order to solve the problem.
