Original Abstract Submitted
A mobility device includes a conveyor device in which a plurality of rotating bodies whose rotational direction, torque, and angle are controlled is arranged to form a plane and a freight is loaded on the plurality of rotating bodies. The mobility device also includes a user interface provided to input a movement command for moving the freight. The mobility device additionally includes a controller connected to enable wireless communication with the user interface. The controller is configured to control the plurality of rotating bodies to move the freight loaded on the conveyor device based on the movement command.
