Introduction: Null

One of the worst parts about moving heavy furniture/appliances around the house is taking it up or down the stairs. With Heavy Helper, simply place the rails at the appropriate width and rest on the stairs. Then set the front end of the furniture on the pads and say, "Okay Heavy Helper" and the robot will begin lifting the front end up the stairs as the user safely lifts the tail end. Once at the top of the stairs, the pads disengage the rails and become rollers to allow the user to move the furniture/appliance to the location of choice.
