The invention belongs to the technical field of medical appliances and relates to a
robot for transferring and transporting patients, which comprises a
vehicle frame 12, an omnidirectional running
system, a transferring arm 2, an arm supporting frame 4, a horizontal moving mechanism, a folded lifting mechanism, a main controller and a control box, wherein the omnidirectional running
system, the transferring arm 2, the arm supporting frame 4, the horizontal moving mechanism, the folded lifting mechanism and the main controller are installed on the
vehicle frame 12; the control box can be in
wireless communication with the main controller; the folded lifting mechanism is positioned between the
vehicle frame 12 and the arm supporting frame 4; the transferring arm 2 is put on the arm supporting frame 4 and moves through the horizontal moving mechanism; and the transferring arm comprises two or more than two sub arms 22 with the same structure. The
robot of the invention can be used for achieving the purpose of mechanically transporting patients among operation tables, sickbeds or inspection equipment without applying external force by
nursing personnel or family members, and the wholeprocess of transferring patients has no need of changing the body postures, thereby avoiding pain and re-injury to patients.
