said Thursday that it has developed an assist cart robot that
can help move wheelchairs and medical equipment around inside
hospitals. The new robot employs the same motor and battery
technologies used for motorized bicycles.

* Panasonic envisions the robot being used to help move
objects like hospital beds and medicine carts, or attached to
wheelchairs to pull them around.

* With the help of the assist cart, even medical equipment
weighing 200kg is easy for a nurse to move on her own.
