It is important to develop robot systems which can encourage social activities of elder people and the handicapped people. We propose a mobile robot system that follows a human and keep close eye on the human when he or she goes out of home, becomes a chair when he or she wants to sit for break, and assists standing up motion when he or she resumes walking. In this paper, we propose a mobile robot system with the functions of providing sitting and standing assistance to elderly users. Distance between the robot and a user is obtained by depth camera, which measures the distance between the robot and the user’s hips. The control method to beep constant distance between the robot and a user is development. The modeling of motion is standing assistance is introduced in the paper.
