[0036] Figures 1 to 5 The first embodiment of the present invention is shown: a smart AI terminal used for home protection of the elderly, including but not limited to a physiological monitoring module, a video monitoring module, a central processing unit, an emergency response module and an interactive module, wherein: the physiological monitoring module is used to monitor the elderly's heart rate, blood pressure and other physiological parameters in real time, and send the data to the central processing unit through wireless transmission technology; the video monitoring module is used to track and capture the elderly's activity images, and analyze the elderly's behavior patterns through image recognition technology to determine whether there are emergency situations such as falls and abnormal stillness; the central processing unit receives data from the physiological monitoring module, environmental monitoring module and video monitoring module, and performs comprehensive analysis through built-in AI algorithms to determine the health status of the elderly and the safety of the home environment; when the central processing unit determines that an abnormal situation is occurring, the emergency response module automatically activates the emergency response mechanism, including but not limited to issuing an alarm, notifying family members or contacting medical institutions in an emergency; the interactive module provides the elderly with a simple and easy-to-use operating interface for viewing health reports, setting personal preferences and making emergency calls.

[0037] In specific implementation, the physiological monitoring module is integrated into a monitoring bracelet worn daily by the elderly. It includes an arterial blood pressure sensor, a heart rate and blood oxygen saturation sensor, and a position sensor, all of which are wirelessly connected to the central processing unit. The video monitoring module, the central processing unit, the emergency response module, and the interaction module are integrated into the care robot. The monitoring bracelet can monitor the elderly's arterial blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen saturation in real time, and wirelessly transmit this data to the central processing unit for analysis. If an abnormal indicator is detected, the central processing unit will immediately trigger an alarm, which will be confirmed by the video monitoring module on the care robot. The care robot also has intelligent recognition capabilities, able to identify the elderly's daily behaviors and potential dangers, such as falls and prolonged inactivity, and take appropriate emergency response measures. The interaction module provides a convenient communication channel between the elderly and their family members and medical staff, supporting voice and video calls, as well as emergency call functions, to ensure that the elderly can receive timely support when they need help.

[0038] Specifically, the care robot includes a detachable walking mechanism 1 and a flying mechanism 2. The walking mechanism 1 is equipped with a central processing unit, an emergency response module, an interaction module, and a first power module for powering the elderly. The flying mechanism 2 is equipped with a video monitoring module and a second power module for powering the elderly. The walking mechanism 1 is designed to be both stable and flexible, able to adapt to the various terrains in the elderly's homes, ensuring that the robot can move smoothly when performing tasks. The flying mechanism 2 gives the robot the ability to quickly traverse obstacles or quickly reach the elderly in an emergency. The first power module and the second power module are responsible for powering the walking mechanism 1 and the flying mechanism 2, respectively, to ensure their continuous and stable operation.

[0039] In this embodiment, the walking mechanism 1 and the flying mechanism 2 can both track and care for the elderly in a predetermined area under the instruction of the central processing unit based on the location information transmitted by the monitoring bracelet, and both can also effectively avoid obstacles with the help of the pre-input house model map and the movement path of the elderly; the central processing unit determines whether to combine the walking mechanism 1 and the flying mechanism 2 to achieve tracking, or to only operate the flying mechanism 2 and use the walking mechanism 1 as a base station to complete the tracking task based on the location information sent by the monitoring bracelet.

[0040] In a specific application scenario, when the walking mechanism 1 and the flying mechanism 2 are combined, the first power module can charge the second power supply through wireless coupling. This design not only ensures that the AI ​​terminal can provide power support for the flying mechanism 2 when walking on the ground, so as to ensure that it can quickly switch to flight mode, but also avoids frequent replacement or charging of the energy storage battery of the flying mechanism 2, thereby improving the endurance and ease of use of the device. In addition, the nursing robot is equipped with an intelligent power management system that can automatically adjust the charging strategy according to the power status of the flying module and the walking module to ensure reasonable distribution of power and extend the overall usage time.

[0041] In specific applications, the walking structure includes a Mimo wheel chassis 101, on which is mounted a main body 102 equipped with a central processing unit, an emergency response module, an interaction module, and a first power supply module. A parking platform 104 is mounted on the main body 102 via a lifting device 103, on which the flying mechanism 2 is securely parked. The Mimo wheel chassis 101 utilizes a high-performance drive motor, ensuring the walking structure's stability and flexibility. The lifting device 103 is connected to the central processing unit and, on the one hand, cooperates with the video surveillance module to reduce blind spots and ensure that the person being cared for is always within the video surveillance module's camera range. On the other hand, it improves the care robot's obstacle avoidance capabilities to meet the needs of home care. Specifically, the flying mechanism 2 includes a quad-rotor drone 201 with a second power supply. The video surveillance module's camera device 203 is mounted on the quad-rotor drone 201 via an adjustable gimbal 202. The gimbal 202 allows for full adjustment of the camera device 203's camera angle to further reduce blind spots.

[0042] In a specific application scenario, a powered pod 204 is suspended from the bottom of the quadcopter 201. The pod 204 is used to store urgently needed medications. In other embodiments, a temperature control system is provided inside the pod 204 to ensure that the medications maintain appropriate temperature and humidity conditions during storage, thereby preventing them from deteriorating or becoming ineffective.

[0043] In order to improve charging efficiency, a wireless energy transmitting coil 105 is provided on the parking platform 104 corresponding to the first power source, and a wireless energy receiving coil 205 is provided at the bottom of the quadrotor drone 201 corresponding to the second power source.

[0044] In order to facilitate automatic and accurate parking of the quad-rotor drone 201 , a centering detection device 106 is provided on the parking platform 104 , and a centering marker 206 is also provided at the bottom of the quad-rotor drone 201 .

[0045] In summary, by integrating multiple monitoring modules and intelligent analysis technologies, the present invention enables the system to comprehensively and in real time monitor the home environment and health status of the elderly, promptly detect abnormal situations and respond quickly, thereby creating a safe, convenient, and intelligent home living environment for the elderly. The physiological monitoring module can track key physiological parameters such as the elderly's heart rate and blood pressure in real time, allowing family members and medical staff to keep abreast of the elderly's health status and respond quickly to potential health problems. At the same time, with the help of wireless transmission technology, these data are transmitted to the central processing unit in real time, laying the foundation for subsequent comprehensive analysis.

[0046] The use of a video surveillance module further enhances the care robot's capabilities. This module can track and capture images of elderly individuals' movements and analyze their behavioral patterns using image recognition technology. If an elderly person experiences an emergency, such as a fall or unusual inactivity, the video surveillance module can quickly identify and trigger an emergency response mechanism. This not only speeds up the response but also effectively reduces potential safety risks.

[0047] The central processing unit, the core of the smart AI terminal, receives data from each module and performs comprehensive analysis using built-in AI algorithms. It accurately assesses the health status of seniors and the safety of their home environment, providing comprehensive health reports and home safety recommendations to family members and medical staff. Regarding emergency response, when the central processing unit detects an abnormality, it automatically activates emergency response mechanisms, including sounding an alarm, notifying family members, or urgently contacting medical institutions, ensuring that seniors receive timely and effective assistance in emergencies.

[0048] The interactive module provides seniors with a simple, easy-to-use interface, allowing them to easily view health reports, set personal preferences, and make emergency calls. This design not only enhances seniors' autonomy and convenience, but also helps strengthen communication and connection with their families and medical staff.

[0049] The care robot has the ability to operate independently in separate parts. Its walking mechanism 1 can meet the needs of following and caring for the elderly in ordinary home scenarios; while the flying mechanism 2 can cross complex areas such as steps and stairs to achieve all-round care for the elderly, effectively solve the problem of blind spots in care, and further improve the quality of care for the elderly.
