Disclosed is a home service robot, comprising an intelligent control system, a mechanical structure and a remote control terminal. The intelligent control system is mounted in the mechanical structure, and the intelligent control system is controlled by the remote control terminal, to cause the mechanical structure to act correspondingly. The mechanical structure comprises a head (1), a body (2), a chassis (7), a chassis suspension protection and movement mechanism and two movable moving-wing mechanisms (4). The head (1) is mounted at an upper end of the body (2), and the body (2) is mounted on the chassis (7); the two moving-wing mechanisms (4) are symmetrically mounted on two sides of the body (2), and the chassis suspension protection and movement mechanism is mounted on the bottom of the chassis (7). The robot has multiple functions.

A robot apparatus includes a body part; a head part rotatably connected to the body part and having three rotational degrees of freedom; a driving device including a plurality of motors configured to provide rotational force to the head part in a pitch direction, a roll direction, and a yaw direction to drive movement of the head part; a microphone sensor configured to detect a voice of a user; and a processor configured to perform a voice recognition processing on the voice detected from the microphone sensor to obtain a recognition result, determine interaction information based on the recognition result, and control the driving device to perform a rotation operation on the head part corresponding to the interaction information.

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 robotic system comprising: an input sensor; an electromechanical interface; an electronic interface; and a processor comprising hardware and configured to execute machine-readable instructions including artificial intelligence-based instructions, wherein upon execution of the machine-readable instructions, the processor is configured to: process an input provided by a user via the input sensor based on the artificial intelligence-based instructions; generate a first output signal that is provided to the electromechanical interface such that a movable component connected to the robotic system is put in motion, and generate a second output signal that is provided to the electronic interface such that a behavior or expression responsive to the input is rendered at the electronic interface.

A server (3) includes a robot control unit (3j) that controls a motion of a robot; a user dynamic data recognition unit (3a1) that recognizes user dynamic data at a plurality of time points during guidance; an emotion estimation unit (3k) that estimates a current emotion of a user at the plurality of time points, based on the user dynamic data, and generates evaluation data being data in which the motion of the robot and the current emotion are associated with each other; and an evaluation data storage unit (3l) that stores the evaluation data in time series.

A server (3) includes a relative position recognition unit (3b) that recognizes a relative position of a robot (2) with respect to a user, and a target position determination unit (3f3) that determines a target position serving as a target of the relative position during guidance, based on the relative position when the user starts to move after the robot (2) starts the guidance.

A server 3 includes a user dynamic data recognition unit 3a1 that recognizes, during guidance, user dynamic data; a guidance request estimation unit 3c that estimates a guidance request of a user during the guidance, based on the user dynamic data; and a guidance action determination unit 3f that determines a guidance action to be taken by a robot 2 during the guidance, based on the estimated guidance request.

A mobile robot that includes a robot body, a drive system having one or more wheels supporting the robot body to maneuver the robot across a floor surface, and a riser having a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end of the riser disposed on the robot body. The robot also includes a head disposed on the distal end of the riser. The head includes a display and a camera disposed adjacent the display.

A robot cleaner which does not stop to change a traveling direction thereof, and a control method thereof includes setting a territory about which cleaning will be performed based on position data acquired during traveling about a cleaning area, predetermining a cleaning path to clean the territory about which cleaning will be performed, and if the cleaning path includes a zigzag traveling path, changing the traveling direction of the robot cleaner by executing curved traveling of the robot cleaner during traveling along the zigzag traveling path, thus decreasing the time required to clean an area during a change of the traveling direction of the robot cleaner.

A robot cleaner includes a main body, a moving unit for moving the main body, a cleaning module capable of being brought into contact with a floor surface at at least part of a lower surface thereof, and a module drive unit for controlling an angle of inclination of the lower surface of the cleaning module with respect to the floor surface.
