AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This technology allows robots to scan pictures while detects objects on their way through various techniques like sonar imagery, radars, cameras, etc., allowing them to navigate safely without getting stuck by any things they may encounter during operation. Additionally, this system includes advanced algorithms such as fuzzy logic and Mobiles' thesis (Mobi) which combine these methods together into one program to improve accuracy over time. Overall, this technology helps make cleanup processes more efficient and effective than current systems.

Problems solved by technology

This patented describes two main issues related to current methods of controlling robotic systems such as laundry machines. Firstly, there may be limitations when users want their clothing to go out without being able to manually put everything they've collected on top; secondly, this process requires manual effort from others who donate space around us everyday.

Embodiment

[0086] The invention provides a hybrid path planning algorithm that can automatically identify clothes through image scanning and image recognition technology, and uses the combination of the improved ant colony algorithm and the Morphin algorithm to achieve the purpose of grabbing scattered clothes in various places in the home and putting them in the washing machine for cleaning smart assistant robot.

[0087] The control of the robot can be divided into remote control mode and voice control mode. When the person is not at home and needs to wash clothes, the robot can be controlled remotely through the mobile terminal. When people are at home, they can use the voice control module to order the robot to collect clothes and put them in the washing machine for cleaning.

[0088] Such as figure 2 As shown, the specific implementation of the remote control provided by the embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0089] 1) Through the WIFI control module, people us...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent robots, and discloses a mobile laundry assistant robot based on image scanning, recognition and route planning. The initial overall route ofthe robot is planned out through the improved ant colony algorithm; when the robot meets obstacles on the way, the Morphin local algorithm is called, and the robot avoids obstacles and runs to the front overall route; and if the Morphin local algorithm cannot find out a feasible route, the improved ant colony algorithm is called to replan the route, and remote control and voice control over the robot are achieved. According to the mobile laundry assistant robot based on image scanning, recognition and route planning, time and manpower are saved, and the situation that clothes are collected and put to be washed manually with low efficiency is avoided; and the function of remotely controlling the robot to collect clothes and using washing machines for washing can be achieved. Washing machines can be used in a staggered manner, and meanwhile people disabled in action or the disabled can be helped to put clothes into washing machines.
