An electronic device, according to various embodiments, may comprise: a first camera having a first viewing angle; a second camera having a second viewing angle; and a processor for causing the first camera to monitor each of one or more subjects, and causing the second camera to photograph a subject that has moved from among the one or more subjects. Other embodiments are possible.

Implementations set forth herein relate to a robotic computing device that can perform certain operations, such as communicating between users in a common space, according to certain preferences of the users. When interacting with a particular user, the robotic computing device can perform an operation at a preferred location relative to the particular user based on an express or implied preference of that particular user. For instance, certain types of operations can be performed at a first location within a room, and other types of operations can be performed at a second location within the room. When an operation involves following or guiding a user, parameters for driving the robotic computing device can be selected based on preferences of the user and/or a context in which the robotic computing device is interacting with the user (e.g., whether or not the context indicates some amount of urgency).

A control system, method and computer program product cooperate to assist control for an autonomous robot. An interface receives recognition information from an autonomous robot, said recognition information including candidate target objects to interact with the autonomous robot. A display control unit causes a display image to be displayed on a display of candidate target objects, wherein at least two of the candidate target objects are displayed with an associated indication of a target object score.

A cleaner includes a body, a left spin-mop module and a right spin-mop module configured to perform mopping, and a water supply module configured to supply water to the left spin-mop module and the right spin-mop module. The water supply module includes a water tank to store water therein, a pump to pressurize the water in the water tank to move the water to the left spin-mop module and the right spin-mop module, a first supply pipe connecting the water tank and the pump, a common pipe connected to the pump, the common pump configured to guide movement of the pressurized water from the pump, a first branch pipe configured to guide a first portion of the water in the common pipe to the left spin-mop module, and a second branch pipe configured to guide a second portion of the water in the common pipe to the right spin-mop module.

A module type home robot is provided. The module type home robot includes a device module coupling unit coupled to a device module, an input unit receiving a user input, an output unit outputting voice and images, a sensing unit sensing a user, and a control unit sensing a trigger signal, activating the device module or the output unit according to the sensed trigger signal, and controlling the module type home robot to perform an operation mapped to the sensed trigger signal. The trigger signal is a user proximity signal, a user voice signal, a user movement signal, a specific time sensing signal or an environment change sensing signal.

A mobile robot moving to a target position indicated by a user terminal, the mobile robot includes a driver configured to move the mobile robot; a communication interface configured to exchange a wireless signal with each of a first terminal transceiver and a second terminal transceiver included in the user terminal; and a controller configured to control the driver to move to the target position after transmission and reception of the wireless signal with the first terminal transceiver and transmission and reception of the wireless signal with the second terminal transceiver.

A robot includes a robot arm formed with an ingredient channel including an ingredient inlet and an ingredient outlet; an ingredient feeder having an ingredient port configured to discharge ingredients; and a carrier configured to move the robot arm to a connection position where the ingredient inlet is connected to the ingredient port, and move the robot arm to an area where the ingredient inlet is separated from the ingredient port.

A robot capable of conversation with another robot and a method of controlling the same are disclosed. The robot includes a main body having a first region corresponding to a human face and rotatable in left-right direction directions, a signal generator generating a first data signal to be transmitted to a listener robot and a first robot voice signal corresponding to the first data signal, a communication unit transmitting the first data signal to an external server, a speaker outputting the first robot voice signal, and a controller controlling a rotation direction of the main body such that the first region is directed toward the listener robot at a time point adjacent to a transmission time of the first data signal and controlling the speaker to output the first robot voice signal after the rotation direction of the robot is controlled, wherein the listener robot receives the first data signal transmitted from the external server and is controlled to operate based on the first data signal.

An autonomous floor cleaner, such as a robotic vacuum cleaner, includes an autonomously moveable housing carrying a vacuum collection system for generating a working air flow for removing dirt from the surface to be cleaned and storing the dirt in a collection space. A bumper is provided on the housing and provides obstacle sensing redundancy. The bumper can be provided with a cliff sensor actuator member that activates an associated cliff sensor upon an impact or obstacle event.

A therapeutic system comprising a posture-mimicry robot comprising a head-assembly, a neck assembly, and a body assembly comprising a hemispherical bottom portion; and a base portion comprising three rotary actuators; wherein the posture-mimicry robot is configured to perform rotational movement in each of yaw, pitch, and roll axes to perform therapeutic interactive movements, gestures, and audio-visual cues.
