Patent Reveals Advanced Service Robot with AI-Powered Display Interaction

A recent patent publication has showcased a service robot capable of advanced display interaction using artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The robot, invented by Xu, Zhetao, is designed to enhance marketing and user engagement through interactive displays that adjust to the user's position and orientation. The service robot comprises a human body recognition sensor, a controller, and a mounted device with multiple distance sensors and a display screen. The system allows the robot to recognize a user's face, calculate their distance, and adjust the display accordingly to provide an immersive experience.

Key Takeaways:

  • The service robot is equipped with a human body recognition sensor that detects users within a predetermined range.
  • The robot's controller determines the user's orientation based on the distance and positions of the distance sensors.
  • The mounted device comprises multiple distance sensors, a display screen, and a camera, which work together to recognize the user's face and calculate their distance.
  • The display screen adjusts its pitch angle and horizontal angle to track the user's movement and maintain an immersive experience.
  • The service robot's AI-powered display interaction technology enables it to provide personalized and dynamic content to users.
  • The system allows for various display control methods, including rotation and expression changes in response to user movement.
  • The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores computer instructions that implement the display control method of the service robot.
