Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of AI technology, and in particular to an AI robot that can assist in applying plasters. Background Technology

[0002] When applying medicated plasters yourself, it is difficult to place the plaster in the correct position because the human eye cannot directly see the back, and due to the limitations of human physiology, certain areas of the back are difficult to reach with the hand. This is especially true for the elderly, who find it even more difficult to place the plaster in the correct position.

[0003] Currently, robots can provide services such as housework cleaning, elderly companionship, and rehabilitation training. With the development of the industry, some robots have already acquired nursing capabilities, such as assisting the elderly to get up and guiding them to walk. However, no robots have yet been found to have the function of assisting in applying plasters. The usage of plasters is very large, and because it is inconvenient for others to apply plasters or because they are living alone, they need to apply plasters themselves. This function is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The problem this invention aims to solve is how to assist in applying plasters to the correct location on the back.

[0005] An AI robot capable of assisting in applying plasters is characterized by having two hands, each with at least two fingers. In use: the AI ​​robot faces the user's back, tears open a plaster, and places it between two fingers of one hand, with the fingers spread apart and the edge of the plaster resting on the fingers; then, the robot's other hand presses the fingertips against the user's back while simultaneously asking if the plaster needs to be applied, following the operator's instructions until the other hand finds the desired location; then, the first hand aligns the center of the plaster directly above the fingertips of the other hand, and while the first hand remains stationary, the other hand is withdrawn and pressed against the back of the plaster, using the gap between the two fingers of the first hand to press the plaster down onto the skin.

[0006] The beneficial effect is that most humanoid robots on the market have hands and fingers that meet the requirements, and can complete the task simply by inputting the corresponding instructions. For example, after tearing open the plaster, it is placed between two fingers of one hand, with the fingers spread apart. The edge of the plaster is attached to the fingers, making it easy to find the accurate position and apply the plaster immediately. Simply use the gap between the two fingers of one hand to press the plaster down onto the skin; the operation is simple and direct, facilitating robot operation. Simultaneously, the spread-out plaster by the two fingers solves the problem of one hand holding the torn plaster, avoiding the plaster curling up or sticking together. One hand aligns the center of the plaster directly above the fingertips of the other hand, and then the other hand remains still, facilitating finding and fixing the accurate position, ensuring the plaster is applied precisely. In short, if a robot were to mimic a human applying a plaster, it would require solving the problems of coordinating multiple fingers while avoiding the plaster curling up and sticking together, which is very complex. This invention utilizes a small number of robot fingers and a simple and feasible operation to achieve robotic plaster application while solving the above problems, making it simple and reliable. The process of tearing open the plaster and applying it between two fingers of one hand is performed by an operator. This is because tearing and applying the plaster requires precise manipulation, and it's crucial to prevent the plaster from sticking together. Robotic operation is complex and difficult to control; manual operation is more convenient and efficient. The usage of the AI ​​robot is characterized by the following steps: The AI ​​robot faces the back of the user, tears open the plaster, and applies it between two fingers of one hand, with the fingers spread apart and the edge of the plaster resting on the fingers. Then, the robot's other hand presses the fingertips against the back of the user, simultaneously asking if the area needs plaster application. Following the operator's instructions, the robot continues until the other hand finds the desired location. Then, the first hand aligns the center of the plaster directly above the fingertips of the other hand. The first hand remains still while the other hand is withdrawn and pressed against the back of the plaster, using the gap between the two fingers to press the plaster down onto the skin.

[0007] The plaster is rectangular. After determining the accurate position for applying the plaster, the robot is given an angle command for the plaster, which ranges from 0 to 180 degrees.

[0008] The beneficial effect is that plasters are basically rectangular, and often the area on the back where the plaster needs to be applied is also rectangular, such as a strip-shaped area of ​​pain. In this case, the angle of the plaster needs to be adjusted to cover the painful area as much as possible.

[0009] When the angle of the plaster is zero degrees, that is, the long side of the rectangular plaster is horizontally applied to the back; when the angle of the plaster is 90 degrees, that is, the long side of the rectangular plaster is vertically applied to the back.

[0010] The beneficial effect is that horizontal and vertical application of the plaster are two common methods. Other application methods, such as applying the plaster at a 45-degree or 135-degree angle, are considered diagonal application. Because the plaster is a rectangle that rotates around its center, 0 to 180 degrees are sufficient to cover all angles. Since 0 degrees and 180 degrees are the same, 180 degrees are not needed once 0 degrees are available.

[0011] The operator pre-inputs the area where the plaster needs to be applied to the robot, making it easier for the robot to quickly find the accurate location to apply the plaster.

[0012] The beneficial effect is that, because the operator cannot directly see their own back, they usually cannot give the exact location where the plaster needs to be applied. Therefore, they can only give a range of locations, allowing the robot to find and confirm them one by one.

[0013] A back outline is displayed on the robot's control interface, and the operator draws the area on the back outline where the plaster needs to be applied.

[0014] The advantage is that the area can be drawn directly on the back outline pattern, making the operation intuitive and quick.

[0015] Alternatively, before applying the plaster, the operator can use their hand or other object to massage the area where the plaster needs to be applied. The robot will then recognize and record the massaged area and determine the precise location for applying the plaster within that area.

[0016] The beneficial effect is that, since the hand or other object has a certain size when massaging, and the robot should have a certain range when recognizing, the recognizing and massaging position can usually only be a range. With this position range, the robot can then use the fingers of the other hand to accurately determine the position where the plaster needs to be applied. Since the fingers are small enough and can press down to find the position, the accurate position can be determined by asking the operator.

[0017] The operator's instructions refer to the relative positional relationship between the location where the plaster needs to be applied and the location of the robot's other hand finger. The relative positional relationship includes orientation and distance, and the distance is measured in units of the width of one of the operator's fingers.

[0018] The beneficial effect is that the robot can be controlled by voice to find the accurate location, and the width of the finger is used as the unit of measurement to help the robot quickly determine the location. The width of the finger can be directly recognized, which is more convenient than units of measurement such as centimeters. An AI robot capable of assisting in applying plasters is characterized by having two hands, each with at least two fingers. In use: the AI ​​robot faces the user's back, tears open a plaster, and places it between two fingers of one hand, with the fingers spread apart and the edge of the plaster resting on the fingers. The operator holds the AI ​​robot's other hand, pressing the back with the fingertips and moving the hand to find the precise location for the plaster. Then, the robot aligns the center of the plaster with the fingertips of the other hand, holds the first hand still, and removes the second hand, pressing it against the back of the plaster. Using the gap between the two fingers of the first hand, the plaster is pressed down onto the skin.

[0019] The beneficial effect is that most humanoid robots on the market have hands and fingers that meet the requirements, and can complete the task simply by inputting the corresponding commands. For example, after tearing open the plaster, it is placed between two fingers of one hand, with the fingers spread apart. The edge of the plaster is attached to the two fingers, making it easy to find the accurate position and apply the plaster immediately. Simply use the gap between the two fingers of one hand to press the plaster down onto the skin. The operation is simple and direct, facilitating robot operation. At the same time, the two fingers spreading the plaster solves the problem of one hand holding the torn plaster, avoiding the plaster curling up and sticking together. The center of the plaster is held by one hand. Align the plaster with the fingertips of the other hand, keeping the first hand still to find and fix the precise position, ensuring the plaster is applied accurately. Alternatively, while it's more convenient for the operator to directly control the robot's hand to find the correct position, some areas on the back are more difficult to position accurately. In short, if a robot were to mimic human plaster application, it would require solving complex problems such as coordinating multiple fingers while preventing the plaster from curling or sticking together. This invention utilizes a small number of robot fingers and simple, feasible operations to achieve robotic plaster application while solving the aforementioned problems, making it simple and reliable. The step of tearing the plaster and applying it between two fingers of one hand is performed by the operator. Tearing and applying the plaster requires precise manipulation, and preventing the plaster from sticking together is also crucial. Robotic operation is complex and difficult to control; manual operation makes this convenient and efficient. The use of the AI ​​robot is characterized by the following steps: The AI ​​robot faces the back of the user, tears open a plaster, and applies it between two fingers of one hand of the AI ​​robot, with the two fingers spread apart and the edge of the plaster attached to the two fingers; the operator holds the other hand of the AI ​​robot, presses the back with the fingertips of the other hand, and moves to find the accurate position where the plaster needs to be applied until the other hand finds the position; then the one hand aligns the center of the plaster directly above the fingertips of the other hand, and then the one hand remains still while the other hand is withdrawn and pressed against the back of the plaster, using the gap between the two fingers of the one hand to press the plaster down onto the skin.

[0020] Before determining the exact position for applying the plaster, the robot's other hand operates in follow mode, meaning it moves in accordance with the external force applied by the operator's hand. Once the exact position for applying the plaster is determined, the operator issues a command to the robot, and the robot's other hand returns to automatic mode, applying the plaster according to the program.

[0021] The beneficial effects are that the following mode makes it easier for the robot to follow the operator to determine the accurate position for applying the plaster, and the automatic mode enables the robot to apply the plaster, solving the problem of difficulty in applying plasters to the back.

[0022] The plaster is rectangular. After determining the accurate position for applying the plaster, the robot is given an angle command for the plaster, which ranges from 0 to 180 degrees.

[0023] The beneficial effect is that plasters are basically rectangular, and often the area on the back where the plaster needs to be applied is also rectangular, such as a strip-shaped area of ​​pain. In this case, the angle of the plaster needs to be adjusted to cover the painful area as much as possible.

[0024] When the angle of the plaster is zero degrees, that is, the long side of the rectangular plaster is horizontally applied to the back; when the angle of the plaster is 90 degrees, that is, the long side of the rectangular plaster is vertically applied to the back.

[0025] The beneficial effect is that horizontal and vertical application of the plaster are two common methods. Other application methods, such as applying the plaster at a 45-degree or 135-degree angle, are considered diagonal application. Because the plaster is a rectangle that rotates around its center, 0 to 180 degrees are sufficient to cover all angles. Since 0 degrees and 180 degrees are the same, 180 degrees are not needed once 0 degrees are available. Attached Figure Description

Then, the operator aligns the center of the plaster with the fingertips of the other hand, keeps the first hand still, and removes the other hand, pressing it against the back of the plaster. Using the gap between the two fingers of the first hand, the plaster is pressed down onto the skin.

[0036] Before determining the exact position for applying the plaster, the robot's other hand operates in follow mode, meaning it moves in accordance with the external force applied by the operator's hand.
