The bearing absorbs load stress and distributes it evenly across its surface, enhancing the lifespan of the connected arms.
[0033] Upon receiving the user’s commands via the computing unit, the microcontroller actuates an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 109 that is installed on the body 101. The imaging unit 109 disclosed herein comprises of an image capturing arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images of the surroundings and the captured images are stored within memory of the imaging unit 109 in form of an optical data.
[0034] The imaging unit 109 also comprises of the processor which processes the captured images. This pre-processing involves tasks such as noise reduction, image stabilization, or color correction. The processed data is fed into AI protocols for analysis which utilizes machine learning techniques, such as deep learning neural networks, to extract meaningful information from the visual data which are processed by the microcontroller to monitor nearby surroundings.
[0035] A suction unit 110 is incorporated within the articulated arm, wherein the unit is operatively linked to the arm via mechanical connections that enable coordinated movement. The suction unit 110, under the control of the microcontroller, utilizes negative air pressure to generate a secure grip on delicate objects. Upon activation, the articulated arm is directed by the microcontroller to maneuver the suction unit 110 in a manner that ensures controlled and stable contact with the fragile items.
[0036] The suction pressure is dynamically adjusted based on the size, weight, and delicacy of the object, ensuring that items such as paper documents, cups, or other fragile objects are securely held without risk of damage. The precise control and integration of the suction unit 110 with the articulated arm allow for efficient handling of such objects, providing enhanced protection during transportation or manipulation within various environments.
[0037] In the event that the arm is directed to grasp a coffee cup or papers, the load cell, equipped with a pressure sensor, first determines the appropriate threshold level of the object. This process involves assessing the weight and characteristics of the object to ensure accurate grip strength. Based on this assessment, the microcontroller adjusts the suction force and the bending of the links 107 accordingly to optimize the secure handling of the object. This ensures that the arm applies the correct force for stable and controlled handling, preventing slippage or damage to delicate items during task execution.
[0038] A weight sensor is configured to detect the weight of the object being held by the arms. The detected weight information is relayed to the microcontroller, which processes the data to assess the weight of the object in real time. Based on this input, the microcontroller adjusts the suction pressure accordingly. The adjustment of suction pressure is done to maintain a secure and stable grip on the object, ensuring that the force applied is proportional to the weight, thereby preventing slippage of the object.
[0039] Additionally, the device safeguard delicate objects by preventing excessive suction pressure that could potentially cause damage. This dynamic adjustment of suction pressure enhances the efficiency and safety of the grip, thereby ensuring that the object is held securely without risk of injury or harm to the object.
[0040] The weight sensor comprises of a convoluted diaphragm and a sensing module. Due to the weight of object being held, the size of the diaphragm changes which is detected by the sensing module. The sensing module detects the weight of object being held and on the basis of the changes in sizes of the diaphragm, the acquired data is forwarded to the microcontroller in the form of a signal for further processing. The microcontroller analyzes the data and detect weight of object being held.
[0041] Synchronously, plurality of suction nozzles 111 (preferably 2 to 6 in numbers) is strategically positioned at the tips of the links 107 of the second articulated arm 106. When the imaging unit 109 detects the presence of dust, webs, or debris on various surfaces, such as walls, floors, or windows, the microcontroller processes this input and triggers the appropriate response. Upon detection, the microcontroller actuates the second articulated arm 106, enabling it to move into position to target the detected particles.
[0042] The suction nozzles 111 are then activated to create a vacuum effect, drawing in the dust and debris. The collected particles are transferred into a receptacle 112 mounted on the body 101 of the device, ensuring that the debris is securely contained for disposal or further processing. The coordinated movement of the second articulated arm 106 and the suction nozzles 111 ensures effective cleaning of surfaces, while maintaining optimal control to prevent damage to the environment or the device itself.
[0043] The nozzles are designed to create a controlled airflow, drawing in dust, debris, or contaminants from surrounding surfaces. When activated, air is drawn through the nozzle, generating suction that pulls in particles from areas such as walls, floors, or windows. The suction force is regulated by the microcontroller, which adjusts the nozzle's operation based on real-time data from the imaging unit 109. This ensures the nozzles function effectively to remove dirt and debris.
[0044] An air inflating unit 113 is integrated into the body 101, designed to functionally inflate a cleaning pouch 114 that is mounted on the second articulated arm 106. Upon receiving input from the microcontroller, the air inflating unit 113 operates to introduce air into the cleaning pouch 114, causing it to expand and assume an inflated state. The inflated pouch is then deployed on the second articulated arm 106, enabling it to be positioned effectively for cleaning tasks.
[0045] This air inflating unit 113 ensures the cleaning pouch 114 maintains its shape and structure during usage, allowing it to securely collect dust, debris, or other contaminants from surfaces. The microcontroller coordinates this action in sync with the suction nozzles 111 and other components, providing an efficient and controlled cleaning process, ensuring that the cleaning pouch 114 remains properly inflated to perform the task without compromising the functionality of the overall device.
[0046] In between the pouch 114 and palm section of second arm, an electric motor is installed. The motor used herein is a DC motor, the works on the principle of electromagnetic induction: the stator and the rotor. The stator generates a magnetic field which usually consists of a permanent magnet or as set of coils through which direct current flows. The rotor is the moving part of the motor.
[0047] The armature is connected to a commutator which is a rotary switch that reverses the direction of the current in the coil every half-turn. As the armature rotates, the brushes ensure a continuous flow of current by reversing its direction at the right moments. When the DC is applied to the armature, a magnetic field is created around the coil due to the current flowing through the coil. As the DC electric motor rotates, the rotational force rotates cleaning pouch 114, in view of allowing for scrubbing and polishing actions during cleaning tasks.
[0048] The body 101 is installed with a dedicated storage chamber 116, wherein the chamber 116 is integrated with an electronic nozzle 115 which spray soapy water solution stored inside the chamber 116 over the surface. The electronic nozzle 115 works by utilizing electrical energy to automize the flow of soapy water solution in a controlled flow pattern by converting the pressure energy of a solution into kinetic energy. Upon actuation of electronic nozzle 115 by the microcontroller, the electric motor or the pump pressurizes the incoming solution, increasing its pressure significantly. High pressure enables the solution to be sprayed out with a high force, thus ensuring optimal cleaning performance by removing dirt and grime with ease.
[0049] A dedicated beverage preparation unit 117 is installed on the body 101, configured to prepare beverages such as coffee or tea by dispensing raw ingredients, heating the beverage to an ideal temperature, and dispensing it into an auxiliary cup or mug. The beverage preparation unit 117 includes a storage unit 201 to hold the raw ingredients and the prepared beverage. The storage unit 201 is provided with opening and closing ports 202 for the controlled dispensing of raw ingredients such as sugar, tea leaves, coffee powder, or green tea powder, based on the user’s selection. The mixing compartment 203 also includes multiple valves 204, which are actuated to release individual ingredients as required by the user’s selection.
[0050] The microcontroller coordinates the operation of these valves 204 to ensure precise ingredient proportions for the beverage preparation. Additionally, the unit incorporates a heating element to bring the beverage to an ideal temperature, ensuring that the beverage is dispensed at the desired warmth. Once prepared, the beverage is dispensed into an auxiliary cup or mug for consumption.
[0051] The beverage preparation unit 117 operates by receiving a user input for beverage selection, activating the mixing compartment 203, and dispensing the required raw ingredients such as sugar, tea leaves, coffee powder, or green tea powder through opening ports controlled by valves 204. The microcontroller regulates the valves 204 to release the correct amount of each ingredient. The unit then activates a heating element to bring the beverage to the desired temperature. Once the beverage reaches the ideal temperature, the unit dispenses the prepared drink into an auxiliary cup or mug. The process ensures accurate ingredient mixing and temperature control for beverage preparation.
[0052] A haptic feedback unit is incorporated into the links 107 of the device, designed to generate vibrations that aid in waking the user. When the user is in a sleep or resting state, the unit provides tactile feedback in the form of vibrations, effectively alerting the user to wake up. This vibration arrangement serves as a non-intrusive means to gently engage the user, ensuring they are notified without loud sounds or abrupt interruptions. The haptic feedback provides a more personalized and less disruptive approach to waking, enhancing user comfort while still ensuring timely awareness.
[0053] The imaging unit 109 captures real-time visuals of the device's surroundings and transmits this data to the computing unit. The visuals displayed on the computing unit provide the user with an up-to-date view of the environment and tasks being performed by the device. This allows the user to actively monitor and assess the ongoing operations. Additionally, the user is provided with the ability to override automatic commands in real-time. This capability enables the user to make adjustments or intervene in the device's operation as needed, ensuring better control and flexibility in task execution, especially in dynamic or unpredictable situations.
[0054] In the event that the robotic arm detects any unusual items or objects while performing tasks such as cleaning or placing items, it will promptly send a notification to the user. This notification serves to alert the user of the presence of unexpected or out-of-place objects, enabling timely intervention or corrective action as necessary. The microcontroller ensures that any anomalies are promptly addressed, maintaining the efficiency and accuracy of the task being performed.
[0055] Synchronously, if the user's equipment is found to be misplaced after a predetermined period, and the user is not present in the vicinity, the microcontroller will automatically relocate the equipment to its designated storage area. Subsequently, an alert will be sent to the user's computing unit which notifying them of the action taken and the current status of the equipment. This ensures that the equipment is properly organized and the user is kept informed, even in their absence.
