    Abstract: A gripper for gripping a target has a first support section, a second support section spaced apart from the first support section in a direction of a rotation center axis, and a plurality of elastic wires supported across the first support section and the second support section. A first grip area surrounded by the plurality of elastic wires is formed between the first support section and the second support section upon a relative rotation of the first support section and the second support section around the rotation center axis, and the first grip area becomes narrower until all the plurality of elastic wires come into contact with the target by the relative rotation of the first support section and the second support section, and the plurality of elastic wires is tightened to grip the target entering the first grip area.

    Abstract: A smart sling for patient transfer assistance includes a first driving unit, a second driving unit, a wire part and a sling unit. The first driving unit is configured to provide a rotational driving force. The second driving unit is spaced apart from the first driving unit by a predetermined distance. The wire part extends between the first driving unit and the second driving unit. The sling unit is configured to unfold toward the second driving unit from a folded state into the first driving unit along the wire part, to position a patient on the sling unit.
