ROBOT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18550973 titled 'ROBOT
Simplified Explanation
The present invention provides a robot that demonstrates human-like motion. A robot is provided with: a self-traveling driving part; a body part mounted on the driving part; and a head part provided above the body part. The head part is provided with: an imaging unit; and a transmission unit that transmits a video image captured by the imaging unit to a user terminal as a signal. The robot is provided with a cover that covers the body part so as to have a space between the cover and the body part and can be flapped being supported on the upper end thereof.
