| Robot driven by a mobile phone | 1. Mobile phone-driven robot system, characterized in that: (1) as a mobile phone audio and video signal acquisition, video audio playback, information processing, information transmission and reception of mobile phone A; (2) processing mobile phone A general interface signal and actuator components The core interface unit for driving signal conversion; (3) executing the actuator component of the command signal sent by the mobile phone A; (4) remotely controlling the mobile phone A through the wireless network and receiving the feedback information of the mobile phone A to actively control the mobile phone B and the remote active Control computer; (5) mobile phone B and remote control actively control the computer’s own input device and additional auxiliary input device; (6) mobile phone A, mobile phone B and remote active control computer function software | 3. The mobile phone driven robot system according to claim 1, wherein the actuator component is an electromechanical device, including: an axle, a motor, a robot arm, a projector, and particularly a roller type electric mobile device, wherein the mobile phone can be fixed at The actuator member moves with it. 6. The mobile phone driven robot system according to claim 1, wherein the “sensing information or actuator sensing information” includes photoelectricity, voltage, current, humidity, temperature, brightness, volume, and pressure. Their robot is an electromechanical device that includes a robot arm and project, which we don’t have. Our scope is smaller. Furthermore, they offer sensor options that we don’t find is necessary. |
| Personal Robot | The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and by utilizing the resources of a general portable smart device such as a display or a device having various recognition functions and a sensor, the number of components is reduced and implemented at low cost, and the user is stable and It is an object of the present invention to provide a personal robot that can conveniently control the robot. | Their robot is not an autonomous mobile robot - rather just a personal robot. |
| Mobile device enabled robotic system | 1. A system, comprising: a mobile device, wherein the mobile device comprises: at least one sensor; at least one processor; at least one communication means, wherein the communication means is capable of communicating and networking among robotic mobile vehicles and between robotic mobile vehicles and humans, using social networking and/or messaging services and accessing, storing, and retrieving information from the Internet; and a mobile vehicle, wherein the mobile vehicle is physically coupled to the mobile device, and the mobile vehicle comprises: a chassis; at least one actuator; and a power source. | The present disclosure generally relates to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and in particular to UAVs with sensors and mobile device/smartphone onboard as the center for computation, sensor data acquisition and communication. Their system is for a UAV and ours is for a AMR. |
| Method and system for controlling a vehicle with a smartphone | A remote control system for controlling a vehicle with a smart phone. The system includes the smart phone programmed with an application that can be installed in the phone via a computer or downloaded from the Internet. The system also includes the vehicle that has been equipped with a radio antenna adapted for communication with the smart phone, an electric power source, servo controller drive motor and a programmable microcontroller (including sensors) and a servo controller steering motor. | A) a smart phone programmed with an application enabling an operator of the smart phone to communicate with a programmable microcontroller located on the vehicle to: 1) receive sensor data from the programmable microcontroller defining speed and steering direction of the vehicle and 2) transmit control signals to the programmable microcontroller for controlling the speed and steering direction of the vehicle The phone serves as only a computation unit that only receives sensor data from the microcontroller and transmit control to the microcontroller. However, we are taking advantage of the phone’s sensor suite to minimize the amount of external sensors. |
