Скачать или смотреть Concept of a multifunctional person lifter

Developed at Fraunhofer IPA, ELEVON is the concept of a semi-autonomous lifter for lifting and moving hospital patients or residents of elderly care homes into various positions. The lifter can be called to where it is needed using a smartphone, for example, and then makes its way there fully autonomously with the aid of its 3D sensors. Under the control of just one operator, the lifter enables the person to be easily picked up, set down, moved or transported. Thanks to the intuitive operation of the lifter not only care staff is supported, the patient or residents benefits as well from the special design of the lifter, which allows ergonomically adapted, body-specific lifting of the person, thereby avoiding unpleasant or even injurious postures.
