Robot head mechanism, robot and robot control method

Abstract

The invention provides a head mechanism of a robot, a robot and a control method of the robot. The head mechanism includes a face unit, a silicone hood covering the outside of the face unit and a control unit; the face unit includes sequentially arranged module areas and The support assembly of the support module area, the module area includes the cranium, eyebrows, eyeballs and mouth in sequence; the support assembly includes a support motherboard and a horizontal fixed base plate; the support motherboard is used to fix the cranium in the vertical direction, Eyebrows, eyeballs and mouth; the horizontal fixed substrate and the support motherboard are vertical and fixedly connected to each other, and are arranged under the eyeballs to fix the eyeballs; the silicone hood has contact areas with the cranium, eyebrows and mouth , the contact area is linked with the cranium, the eyebrows and / or the mouth; the control unit is electrically connected with the face unit, and is used to control the face unit to interact with the user. The complexity of hardware design is reduced, and the cost is significantly reduced; the diversity of facial expressions is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of intelligent robots, in particular to a head mechanism of a robot, a robot and a control method for the robot. Background technique [0002] Creating a robot that can be compared to a real person has always been one of the focus topics in the field of robotics research, attracting the attention of many scholars and scientific research institutions. The faces of traditional humanoid robots are mostly plastic or metal bodies with static expressions. Some models have additional mouth mechanisms that can be opened and closed to express certain actions; mass-produced humanoid robots are mostly silicone or TPE inverted molds The soft dolls, in addition to having a more realistic human face and materials that can be compared to the touch of real skin, its appearance is still a static image. [0003] In recent years, humanoid robots with dynamic facial control have appeared. Some of them use compressed air as a p...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Regardless of the above-mentioned technical solutions, when performing facial control on a humanoid robot, the robot cannot express itself, and it is necessary to perform a large number of manual motion arrangements in advance according to the scene.

At the same time, since humanoid robots have no visual, auditory and acoustic functions, they cannot interact intelligently with humans, and lack the basis for emotional interaction.
