20080255702 | Robotic system and method for controlling the same - A method for controlling a robotic system. Expressional and audio information is received by an input unit and transmitted to the processor therefrom. The processor converts the expressional and audio information to corresponding expressional signals and audio signals. The expressional signals and audio signals are received by an expressional and audio synchronized output unit and synchronously transmitted therefrom. An expression generation control unit receives the expressional signals and generates corresponding expressional output signals. Multiple actuators enable an imitative face to create facial expressions according to the expressional output signals. A speech generation control unit receives the audio signals and generates corresponding audio output signals. A speaker transmits speech according to the audio output signals. Speech output from the speaker and facial expression creation on the imitative face by the actuators are synchronously executed. | 10-16-2008 |
20100179689 | METHOD OF TEACHING ROBOTIC SYSTEM - First, an object model library and an operation module library are provided. The object model library contains at least an object model geometrically similar to a real object to be processed. The operation module library contains at least an operation module for each operation to be performed. Then, for each real object to be processed, a virtual object is defined by association with an object model in the object model library and by specification of the object model's geometric parameters. Subsequently, for each operation to be performed, the operation is defined by selecting an operation module from the operation module library and specifying its operation parameters. Optionally, for each virtual object defined, at least a two-dimensional image previously taken of the corresponding real object is associated with the virtual object. | 07-15-2010 |
20120046144 | DEVICE CAPABLE OF ADJUSTING IMAGES ACCORDING TO BODY MOTION OF USER AND PERFORMING METHOD THEREOF - A device capable of adjusting images according to a body motion of a user and a performing method thereof are disclosed. The device includes a display unit, at least one camera unit, and a control unit. The display unit functions for displaying images. The camera unit captures at least one motion image of the user. The control unit is electrically coupled to the display unit and the camera unit. The control unit receives the motion image of the user and adjusts the display unit according to the motion image of the user, whereby the images displayed by or on the display unit move as does the user. | 02-23-2012 |
20120105221 | REAL-TIME WARNING SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE WINDSHIELD AND PERFORMING METHOD THEREOF - A real-time warning system for a vehicle windshield and a performing method thereof are disclosed. The real-time warning system includes an image capture unit, an image processing unit, a calculation and control unit, and a robotic optical projection unit. The image capture unit continually captures images appearing in front of a vehicle. The image processing unit determines an obstacle according to the images appearing in front of the vehicle. The calculation and control unit calculates an intersection point between a straight line and the vehicle windshield, wherein the straight line connects the obstacle and a head position of a driver in the vehicle. The robotic optical projection unit which is controlled by the calculation and control unit generates a warning mark onto the vehicle windshield so that the driver can easily see the obstacle ahead. | 05-03-2012 |
20130006478 | AUTONOMOUS SEAT SYSTEM OF AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLE AND PERFORMING METHOD THEREOF - An autonomous seat system of an automotive vehicle and a performing method thereof are disclosed. The system and the method are aimed to reduce discomfort of a passenger due to centrifugal forces resulted from vehicle's turning motion. The autonomous seat system of the automotive vehicle includes a lane prediction unit, a control unit, and a seat adjusting unit. The lane prediction unit is utilized for obtaining lane information in front of the automotive vehicle. According to the lane information the control unit calculates the centrifugal force which the passenger experiences while sitting in a seat of the automotive vehicle, and a seat tilt angle which is required for the seat to compensate the centrifugal force after a predetermined time interval. The seat adjusting unit adjusts the seat to the seat tilt angle after the predetermined time interval so as to reduce or eliminate the ill-effect on the passenger resulted from the centrifugal force. | 01-03-2013 |
20130139631 | FACIAL EXPRESSION CONTROL DEVICE - A facial expression control device is provided. The facial expression control device of the present invention provides multiple structures and links, wherein the links are connected to the linking assembly; therefore varies facial expressions are expressed according to the combination of the structures and links. In this way, the facial expression is changed by means of the least actuators under the condition of maintaining the number of facial expression and imitation. | 06-06-2013 |
20150013550 | AUTOMATIC MEAL SERVING SYSTEM - An automatic meal serving system includes a conveyer module, a transporting module, a first food serving and heating module, and an ingredient serving module. The transporting module is located on the conveyer module for sequentially positioning a plurality of vessels on the conveyer module. The first food serving and heating module provides a variety of foods, heats one of the foods that is chosen, and feeds one of the vessels on the conveyer module with the heated food. The ingredient serving module is located beside the first food serving and heating module. The transporting module, the first food serving and heating module, and the ingredient serving module are sequentially located along the conveyer module. | 01-15-2015 |
