Mobile Care Robot

[INQ. NO. 2402E07] Since its establishment in January 2020, Pebble-i Inc. has specialized in manufacturing small immunization products for hospitals, and transportation assistance devices for patients and the elderly. Through KIMES 2024, Pebble-i is about to promote its own mobile care robot, ‘UPGO Plus,’ to actual users (nursing homes, hospitals, etc.) and hold events where many such users can directly experience the product and confirm its effectiveness.
Pebble-i’s mobile care robot UPGO Plus is an assistive device that helps transport patients or the elderly from one location to another. It adopts the principle of a lever that induces a patient or elderly person to straighten their knees to stand, and to sit them down through a knee-folding motion.

The robot has many differentiated points over other products: the height of the chest cushion can be adjusted to three levels, so a patient or elderly person with a height of 140~190cm can use one UPGO Plus; a patient or elderly person weighing up to 130kg can use it; and it can be operated in accordance with the physical condition of the patient or elderly person with two actuators fitted.
In addition, it is equipped with 5-inch-large front wheels, allowing it to move on urethane floors or carpets, and has separate straps for the chest and knees of users — allowing it to be used even for bedridden patients, or the elderly.
“After launching UPGO Plus, a mobile assistive device product for patients and the elderly, in June 2023 following approximately three years of research and development, we have reflected the feedback from actual users through continuous evaluations in hospitals and nursing homes in order to develop a more highly complete product,” the company’s CEO explained.
