A pet-type escort robot and system

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to pet type accompanying robot and system. The pet type robot comprises a pet type shell, a sensing component, a main controller and an executing component, wherein the sensing component, the main controller and the executing component are arranged inside the pet type shell. The sensing component is used for sensing human motion and / or the environment change and at least comprises one of a pressure sensor for sensing the pressure applied by a human body, a photoelectric sensor for sensing the environmental illumination change, a heat sensitive sensor for sensing the temperature of the human body, a microphone for detecting the sound, a camera for obtaining video images and a gas detection sensor for detecting the gas concentration in the environment. The main controller is used for giving out motion control commands corresponding to the human motion and / or the environment change. The executing component is used for executing the motion control commands. By means of the pet type accompanying robot and system, various interaction functions with the human bodies can be achieved, the robot and system are suitable for spiritual companion of the senior citizen, and aloneness of the senior citizen can be effectively relived.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular, to a pet-type companion robot and system. Background technique [0002] my country is the country with the largest elderly population in the world. By the end of 2013, my country's elderly population over the age of 60 had reached 202 million, accounting for 14.8% of the total population. It is estimated that by the middle of this century, my country's elderly population will reach 450 million, accounting for about 1 / 3 of the total population. Aging, aging, empty nests, and family miniaturization have brought about increasingly prominent problems in elderly life care and accompanying care, among which the "empty nest elderly" has attracted special attention. In the sixth census in 2010, the number of empty-nesters had reached 31.77%, and the proportion of empty-nesters with psychological problems reached 60%. Therefore, for the elderly who are usually unaccompanied, how t...

Problems solved by technology

At present, some researches have involved remote monitoring robots for the elderly, but these robots are designed in the shape of machines, lack of interaction with people, and have relatively single functions, which cannot really play a role in accompanying the elderly and alleviating psychological loneliness.
