2A1-I02 Study on a Practical Robotic Follower to Support Home Oxygen Therapy Patients : No.8 Field Tests for Size Evaluation in Public Transportation

Abstract

Home oxygen therapy (HOT) patients always have to carry an oxygen equipment in order to reduce shortness of breathing. We are developing a practical robotic follower carrying their oxygen equipment instead of patients. In this paper, we bring the prototype model into public transportation such as bus, train and bullet train to evaluate its size. We confirmed that the 6-th prototype model fairly fits these public transportations and can refrain from interfering.
