A preferred embodiment of the touch sensing apparatus includes one or more touch sensing units, a detector, and a signal processing unit. Each touch sensing unit comprises: a differential signal source for generating two signals which have a same frequency but reverse phases; and two sensors for receiving a touch signal of a user's finger. One sensor is connected to an anode of the differential signal source, and the other sensor is connected to a cathode of the differential signal source. The detector is for converting the received signal into a digital signal. An input terminal of the detector is connected to the sensors of each touch sensing unit. The signal processing unit is for determining which sensor is touched according to the frequency and phase of the signal output from the detector. The signal processing unit is connected to an output terminal of the detector. The touch sensing unit may further include a reference signal circuit.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a robot and method for establishing a relationship between input commands and output reactions. When initiating an input configuration program, the robot fetches a predetermined motion output reaction and performs a corresponding motion. At this time, the robot receives a vocal input command from a user to obtain a vocal input profile, and establishes a relationship between the motion output reaction and the vocal input profile. When receiving the vocal input command again, the robot performs the corresponding motion according to the relationship. In addition, a sound assigned to the motion output reaction can be altered according to users' preferences. Accordingly, the motion output reaction may have different naming sound.

A robot and its component control module are disclosed. The robot includes a CPU and at least two component modules. Each component control module includes at least one actuator, at least one sensor, and a controller. The sensor is used for detecting outside information and correspondingly generating a sensing signal. The controller receives the sensing signal, controls the actuator to perform an action according to the sensing signal and sends the sensing signal to the CPU. The CPU receives the sensing signal, gets the outside information associated with the sensing signal, generates action instruction according to the outside information, and sends out the action instruction to the corresponding component control module. The controller of the corresponding component control module controls the actuator of the component control module to perform an action according to the action instruction. The robot responds quickly to outside information.
