PROVIDING REMOTE GESTURAL AND VOICE INPUT TO A MOBILE ROBOT
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A robot system, comprising:
- a robot having a plurality of sensors for detecting actions of a user and providing sensory data as outputs, and a sensory input processing system having an input for receiving the sensory data and an output providing commands generated from the sensory data, and a control system responsive to the commands to control operations of the robot, and outputs providing feedback to the user;
a remote device in wireless communication with the robot, and providing at least a portion of the commands to the robot, and having outputs for providing at least a portion of the feedback from the robot to the user.

Abstract
A system, such as a robot, which responds to voice, gesture and other natural inputs from a user, is controllable when the user is out of range through use of a wireless controller. The wireless controller provides inputs that allow the user to enter commands that are a proxy for the voice and gesture inputs the robot otherwise recognizes. The controller can include, for example, a microphone for voice input, a pad for directional control, and a speaker and display devices to provide responses from the robot.

11. A device for a wireless connection to a robot, comprising:
-
input devices for receiving inputs from a user; a wireless transceiver for transmitting information about the user inputs to the robot, such that the user inputs are translated into commands which are at least a subset of commands performed by the robot generated in response to processing sensory data obtained by sensing actions of the user; and the wireless transceiver receiving feedback about performance of commands from the robot; display devices for displaying the feedback from the robot. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A process for controlling a robot, comprising;
-
receiving data from a mobile device remote from the robot, wherein the data includes user input; deriving commands from the user input, wherein the commands include at least a subset of commands that the robot derives from processing sensory data on the robot in response to a user; generating feedback to the remote device about the command; and causing the remote device to display the feedback to a user. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
