This paper presents a tray carrying robot for hospital use. A patient puts his or her personal belongings on trays, and the trays are stored in a separate tray rack located in a corner of a hospital ward. The tray carrying robot goes back and forth between a patient and the tray rack along single or multiple guide lines on the floor or ceiling. The guide line attached to the ceiling of a hospital ward is also proposed.
