Abstract

Various embodiments are described herein for a system and a method for an automated wheelchair and bed system that transforms between wheelchair and bed positions. In one embodiment, an automated wheelchair and bed system comprises a chassis; a back mechanism assembly pivotally coupled to the chassis; a set rest assembly coupled to the chassis; a leg mechanism assembly pivotally coupled to the chassis; and a sliding base assembly slidingly coupled to the chassis, the sliding base assembly comprising a sliding base mechanism that moves away from a rear portion of the system when the system transitions from a wheelchair position to a bed position and moves towards the rear portion of the system when the system transitions from bed position to wheelchair position. In an alternative embodiment, an actuator is used to move the sliding base assembly and change the height of the system in chair mode or bed mode.
