ROBOT APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17938507 titled 'ROBOT APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a robot apparatus with a rotatable neck structure and a display that can be positioned in different directions. It also includes a stopper structure that can be moved to support or separate from the neck structure.

  • The robot apparatus includes a main body, a display, and a rotatable neck structure.
  • A first driving device allows the neck structure to rotate, positioning the display in either an upward-facing or forward-facing direction.
  • A stopper structure is provided on the main body, adjacent to the neck structure.
  • A second driving device moves the stopper structure towards the front or rear direction.
  • The stopper structure can be positioned to support the neck structure or be separated from it.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Humanoid robots with adjustable displays for communication or interaction purposes.
  • Robotic assistants with versatile display positioning for information sharing or entertainment.
  • Educational robots with interactive displays that can be adjusted for optimal viewing angles.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides flexibility in display positioning, allowing for better user interaction and communication.
  • Enables the robot to adapt to different scenarios or tasks by adjusting the display direction.
  • Prevents damage to the neck structure by providing a stopper structure for support.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved user experience through adjustable display positioning.
  • Increased versatility and adaptability of the robot apparatus.
  • Enhanced durability and protection of the neck structure.


Original Abstract Submitted

A robot apparatus is disclosed. The robot apparatus includes a main body; a display; a neck structure rotatably connected to the main body; a first driving device configured to rotate the neck structure such that the display is positioned in a first location, in which a display surface of the display faces toward an upper direction, or a second location, in which the display surface faces toward a front direction; a stopper structure provided on the main body to be adjacent to the neck structure; and a second driving device configured to move the stopper structure toward the front direction or a rear direction such that the stopper structure is positioned in a supporting location in which the stopper structure contacts a rear surface of the neck structure, or a separated location, in which the stopper structure is spaced apart from the neck structure.
