Abstract
Home Oxygen Therapy (HOT) patients need portable oxygen equipment at the time of going out. However, the currently-used oxygen equipment is heavy enough to discourage HOT patients from their going out. Therefore we try to develop the power assist robotic cart which supports HOT patients' going out. Especially we try to develop the carry-cart type mobile robot which can assist HOT patients and be controlled by same operation of currently-used cart. In this paper, we describe our proposed carry-cart type mobile robot and then show its effectiveness.
