There exist people who can't transfer on their own and need help for the move from a sitting posture to other sitting posture. However, many of them want to transfer without assistants. Therefore, we developed a robot that assists them to transfer on their own. The convention robot was not able to assist the people who cannot hold sitting position on their own. In order to increase users of proposing self-transfer assist robot, it is useful to realize the transfer of supine people, who can't keep the sitting position by themselves. In this investigation, we improved the mechanism of the arm part of the transfer robot and realized motions of the body hold part, which are used in the sitting up assistance to the sitting position at the end of the bed from the supine position. The proposing sitting up motion is constructed by the turning motion and the rising up motion.
