[0025] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0026] The terms "comprises" and "comprising" and any variations thereof in the description, embodiments, claims and drawings of the present invention are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, including a series of steps or units.
[0027] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0028] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hardware plug-in device that provides a companion robot with built-in large-scale model computing capabilities and data memory migration capabilities. This hardware card can be inserted into the robot through a standardized interface. While enabling model invocation, it continuously records external data during user interaction, enabling the retention and migration of the user's emotional memory.
[0029] The present invention provides a hardware plug-in system for providing large model capabilities for a companion robot, comprising:
[0030] Plug-in interface module, used to connect to the companion robot main control system;
[0031] The main processing chip uses a dedicated chip with AI reasoning and training capabilities (such as ARM+NPU architecture, RISC-VAI chip, or FPGA+ASIC combination);
[0032] Built-in memory for storing pre-trained language-behavior-perception models;
[0033] Data acquisition and feedback module, used to interact with the robot system, receive sensor data, and output decision feedback;
[0034] PLC call interface module, used for logic signal interaction and model call with the robot control system;
[0035] The hardware plug-in system has:
[0036] Hot-swappable capability, allowing it to be safely plugged in and out while the robot is running;
[0037] Data incremental learning capability can fine-tune model parameters based on user usage and retain interactive memory;
[0038] Secure encryption mechanism to prevent user data from being leaked or illegally called.
[0039] The robot is designed with a plug-in interface, and the system's software driver enables automatic recognition and model calling of hardware plug-ins, including:
[0040] Model loading module: identifies the model structure in the hardware card and loads it into the robot interaction logic;
[0041] Data synchronization module: transmits the robot's sensor, voice, image and other information to the hardware card for processing in real time;
[0042] Feedback module: Generates feedback behaviors such as voice, action, and expression based on model output.
[0043] When the robot hardware is damaged or upgraded, the user can directly insert the hardware card into another compatible robot. The system will automatically load the model and user data on the card to maintain a consistent companionship experience.
[0044] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the hardware plug-in described in this invention includes a processing module based on an edge AI chip, a built-in large language model, and a multimodal data analysis module. Upon detecting the insertion of the hardware card, the robot's main control system loads the plug-in's model services via a PLC interface and transmits sensory data, such as voice, image, and tactile, to the plug-in for processing. The plug-in generates feedback signals, which the robot then responds with, such as voice responses and facial expressions.
[0045] At the same time, the user's interaction data and behavior patterns are continuously recorded in the plug-in storage area, forming a personalized behavior model and emotional profile. After replacing the robot body, simply insert the plug-in into the new robot to load the previous interaction model, realizing the "memory" transfer.
[0046] Beneficial effects: The present invention integrates large models and data storage functions into a pluggable hardware card, thereby realizing the rapid deployment of large model capabilities and personalized memory migration of companion robots, which not only improves computing power and response speed, but also enhances the user's emotional continuity and data privacy.
[0047] The above specific implementation methods further illustrate the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above are only specific implementation methods of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
