Imagine having this special bed for the mornings when you just can’t get up and you need to make it to the kitchen where your robotic coffeemaker has the caffeine waiting. This bed makes itself into a wheelchair that can carry you to your desired destination. Okay, so that was just to get your attention.
Seriously, this robot was not developed for the lazy or the sleepy. It is for the patient who has a medical disability that keeps him or her from moving about on their own.
