Abstract

A system described herein pertains to robotic devices, and in particular to robotic devices with a unique output profile. A system consistent with the present disclosure includes an apparatus which includes a set of input devices, a set of output devices, and a memory unit. The memory unit includes a behavior image which dictates the manner in which the at least one output device operates. Upon receiving data through at least one of the input devices over a first time period reconfigures the behavior image.

Claims

1. An apparatus, comprising:

at least one input devices;

at least one output device; and

a memory unit;

the memory unit includes a behavior image, wherein the behavior image dictates the manner in which the at least one output device operates;

wherein upon receiving data through the at least one input device over a first time period reconfigures the behavior image.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the at least one input device includes a set of sensory device wherein the set of sensory devices includes an auditory sensing device, temperature sensing device, and an attention sensing device.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the at least one output device is a display unit, speaker, or light emitting diode.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the memory unit includes customized behavior images.

5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the memory unit includes default settings for the behavior image.

6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the behavior image includes computer instructions for a manner in which the at least one output device operates.

7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the behavior image includes computer instructions for the apparatus to employ a unique output.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a set of light emitting diodes which mimic a facial disposition when engaged.

9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the behavior image includes computer instructions which dictate which light emitting diode to engage to mimic the facial disposition.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising electronic circuitry wireless communication capability.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein data which includes a behavior image may be retrieved via the wireless communication capability.

12. A system, comprising:

a first robotic device, comprising;

a set of input devices;

a set of output devices;

a memory unit;

the memory unit includes a behavior image, wherein the behavior image includes computer instructions for a manner in which the at least one output device operates;

wherein upon receiving data through the at least one of the input devices over a first time period reconfigures the behavior image; and

electronic circuitry to effect wireless communication; and

a network server, comprising;

a database which includes memory which stores a plurality of customized behavior images.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the first time period is at least 30 days.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein the first robotic device has at least one human attribute.

15. The system of claim 12, wherein the first robotic device includes a power unit to receive power from an external power source.

16. The system of claim 12 further comprising a second robotic device wherein each robotic device has the same set of input devices, output devices, and memory unit.

17. A method, comprising:

operating an output device in accordance with a first behavior image;

wherein the first behavior image includes computer instructions for a manner in which the output device operates;

utilizing an input device to retrieve data over a first time period; and

reconfiguring the first behavior image as a result of retrieving the data.

19. The method of claim 17, wherein the received data is from at least one object within a controlled environment.

20. The method of claim 17, wherein the reconfigured behavior image includes a portion of the settings of the first behavior image.

18. The method of claim 18 further comprising operating an output device based on the reconfigured behavior image.
