The present invention further relates to a cloud based projection systems and methods. The present invention more particularly related to an improved cloud based projection and humanoid system for providing intelligent inputs and act as a personal assistant for household and entertainment applications.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] With the continuous improvement in the field of advanced computation and robotics, adaptation of robotic applications and humanoid applications in enhancing living standards has increased. More particularly, more and more types of humanoids are introduced in personal assistance for human needs. With the increased advantage in this field there is a humongous demand from users for more and more humanoid systems replacing human direct intervention and interaction with systems. Also, more intelligent humanoid systems for special needs are increasingly urgent, not only for general entertainment purposes and gamming applications, the need has extended to more serious applications including assisting in day-to-day user needs and monitoring applications such as for example, but not limited to booking a cab, ordering a pizza and other household applications.

[0003] In general, Humanoids are automated devices that are able to manipulate objects using a series of links, which in turn are interconnected via robotic joints. Humanoid robots are a particular type of robot having an approximately human structure or appearance, whether a full body, a torso, and/or an appendage, with the structural complexity of the humanoid robot being largely dependent upon the nature of the work task being performed.
[0004] Majority of such humanoids are adapted in applications where there is a need for direct interaction with devices or systems that are specifically made for human use. Furthermore, the use of humanoid extended in applications where the interaction is required with humans, as the motion can be programmed to approximate human motion such that the task queues are understood by the cooperative human partner. Different control modes are programmed with respect to this kind of conventional humanoids in order to effectively handle a wide spectrum of work tasks that may be expected by the users of the devices.

[0005] Majority of prior art humanoid systems and application are well-known in assisting human in the field of entertainment and personal assistance. Such prior art humanoid application include mostly dolls, plush toys, puzzle-type systems, building blocks, jigsaw puzzle and so on. These prior art systems are intelligent and provide audible feedback for scenario reactions. With the advent advanced computation and modern internet era, humanoid applications are extended to household applications such as, applications provided by Google voice or Amazon echo etc. Majority of such prior art humanoid systems are voice based systems which respond to the human voice and intelligently render required information with respect to the human need.

[0006] In such prior art conference systems, it is very difficult to achieve seamless visual information exchange and also the quality of the communication depends on independent hardware components of the humanoid system. Also, the conventional humanoid applications are unable to provide a real-time visual experience to the user where he can enjoy the multimedia beaming and streaming features using the humanoid.

[0007] Such a prior art conferencing system could be highly disadvantageous in case of handling complex and intelligent house hold applications such as, finding a cooking recipe, tracking location of a family member, booking a cab and tracking and other visual based house hold needs. Also, the conventional prior art humanoid system do not have a cloud based projection system for beaming/streaming live activities and entertainment contents.

[0008] Based on the foregoing a need therefore exists for an improved humanoid system with visual capabilities for rendering house hold applications. A need also exists for an improved cloud based projection system to seamlessly share content/information in conference and meetings to ensure continuity of discussions within the network. Also, an improved cloud based projection and humanoid system for providing intelligent inputs and act as a personal assistant for household and entertainment applications, as described in greater detail herein.
