Home Oxygen Therapy (HOT) patients need to carry the portable oxygen cylinder when they go out. However the portable oxygen cylinder seem to be heavy for carrying. I propose to a robotic cart for carrying oxygen cylinder to support HOT patients. Propose robotic cart applies compliance control to operate the cart itself easily by using handle shape interface which is usually attached to the popular carry cart, and then the robotic cart becomes to be able to follow the patients by carrying their portable oxygen cylinders. In this paper we describe the robotic cart operation.
