ROBOTIC COMPUTING DEVICE WITH ADAPTIVE USER-INTERACTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17533873 titled 'ROBOTIC COMPUTING DEVICE WITH ADAPTIVE USER-INTERACTION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a robotic computing device that can perform operations based on user preferences in a common space. The device can perform operations at preferred locations relative to the user and can select parameters for driving based on user preferences and context.

• Robotic computing device that performs operations based on user preferences in a common space
• Can perform operations at preferred locations relative to the user
• Selects parameters for driving based on user preferences and context

Potential Applications

• Home automation: The robotic computing device can assist with tasks such as cleaning, organizing, and interacting with users in a home environment.
• Office assistance: The device can help with tasks like scheduling, communication, and guiding users within an office space.
• Hospitality industry: The robotic computing device can provide services to guests in hotels, such as delivering items, providing information, and guiding them to different areas.

Problems Solved

• Personalized interaction: The device can perform operations at preferred locations based on user preferences, providing a personalized experience.
• Efficient navigation: By selecting driving parameters based on user preferences and context, the device can navigate efficiently and effectively.
• Improved user experience: The device can enhance the user experience by performing operations in a way that aligns with user preferences and needs.

Benefits

• Convenience: Users can interact with the device and have operations performed at preferred locations, saving time and effort.
• Personalization: The device adapts to user preferences, providing a tailored experience.
• Efficiency: By selecting driving parameters based on user preferences and context, the device can optimize its movements and perform operations more efficiently.

Original Abstract Submitted

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).
