Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a system for robot assisted restaurant service and a robot. The proposed system includes a calling module, configured to initiate a call command to a robot on press of a calling button present at each table of plurality of tables, and a greeting & order receiving module configured at a robot to receive the call command from one or more tables of the plurality of tables and to activate the robot to move toward a particular table of the one or more tables for greeting the guests and for receiving their order. The system further includes an order transmission module, configured to transmit the received order to a computing device present in kitchen, and an order service module at the robot to enable the robot to serve the orders to the guests on the tables. The system also includes a billing module incorporated within the robot, while saving the transactions in an encrypted format accessible by the authorised person.
Abstract:
A device controlled by automatics for handling material, for example scrapped goods, waste paper and paper bales, comprises an elongated arm (1, 2, 3) with one or several parts mutually connected, for example pivotably. A gripping apparatus (8) is arranged on the arm and at least one sensor (12) is arranged to sense whether any material exists on a ground portion or not. Furthermore, a control unit (15) is arranged to control the movement of the arm to the material on the basis of information received from said sensor (12). In this device the sensors (12) are arranged on the arm of the device and the control unit is adapted to control the arm to sweep over the ground, preferable at a substantial height over the material, so as to position the material. The sensors (12) have transmitter as well as receiver of signals of intermittent or continuous nature, the latter being intended to be reflected by the material or the ground, so as to measure the distance to the ground and by doing so position the material.
Abstract:
Awareness of a device, such as a robot, to proximate humans (or other moving object) manifested by a visual signal aligned with— i.e., aimed at— the human. For example, an illumination system may take the form of a closed or partial ring around which lighting elements may be selectively activated.
Abstract:
A mobile robot system for performing a plurality of separate operations comprising at least one autonomous wheeled mobile robot (1) having at least one wheel-driving motor; an on-board computer; means for navigation, orientation, and maneuvering in an environment with moving obstacles; a sensor system; and a wireless communication system for receiving and sending signals.
Abstract:
Ultrasonic measuring apparatus comprising interrogation means (4, 5) for transmitting an ultrasonic first signal; transponder means (6) for receiving said signal from said interrogation means and for transmitting a further signal in response thereto; receiving means preferably forming part of said interrogation means (4, 5) for receiving said further signal; and timing means (3) coupled to said interrogation means and arranged to time the time interval betweentransmission of said first signal by said interrogation means and receipt of said further signal by said receiving means. Other disclosed embodiments use transmitters and receivers for distance and position determination with use of a transponder. The invention is applicable to adjusting the stereo balance of a stereo reproduction system as a listener changes his position, in order to maintain the stereo effect and to position location systems for use in robotics.
Abstract:
A platform (1) including at least one industrial robot (2), wherein the platform (1) is arranged to be carried by a vehicle (3) to a working site (4) where the at least one industrial robot (2) is to perform a task in relation to the working site (4). The platform (1) includes a platform body (5), a platform control unit (6) and a connecting arrangement (7) with a connecting device (8) arranged to be connected to a vehicle arm of the vehicle (3) such that the platform (1) can be carried by the vehicle arm of the vehicle (3). The connecting arrangement (7) further includes an actuator (9) arranged to cause the platform (1) to rotate around an axis X-X defined by the connecting device (8) according to instructions from the platform control unit (6). A vehicle (3) including the platform (1) is also described.
