Abstract :
A kind of new robotic nursing bed is designed in this paper, which has the functions of raising back, curling legs, side turning over from left to right separately, and voice recognition control, according to paralyzed patient´s requirement. The bed is designed based on the robot´s behave planning and the characteristics of multi-axis control and templet matching theory, to improve living standard of the paralyzed patients. The work focuses on technical solutions for human-friendly assistance in structure design of the nursing bed and voice recognition that provide convenience control of all assistive robotic systems. The designed nursing bed has been tried out, the trial results show the practicality and reliability of the designed hospital beds, and fully meet the needs of patients.
