Abstract
A robotic assistant includes a wheeled base, a body positioned on the base, a foldable seat rotatably connected to the body, an actuator to rotate the foldable seat with respect to the body, and a control system that receives command instructions. The actuator is electrically coupled to the control system. In response to the command instructions, the control system is to control the actuator to rotate the foldable seat to a folded position or an unfolded position. The control system is further to detect whether an external force from a user has applied to the foldable seat, and release the actuator to allow the foldable seat to be manually rotated.
