[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0034] It should also be understood that the terminology used in this utility model specification is merely for describing specific aspects of the present application. It is important to understand that terms such as "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," and "counterclockwise," indicating orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present application. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0035] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, this application provides a robot including a head 100, a body 200, arms 300, and legs 400. The arms 300 are disposed on both sides of the body 200, the head 100 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the body 200, and the legs 400 are rotatably mounted on the lower end of the body 200. This separate design of the head 100, body 200, and legs 400 allows them to be connected by rotation, enhancing mobility and facilitating robot maintenance or customized upgrades. The arms 300 are integrally disposed on both sides of the body 200, reducing mechanical complexity and manufacturing costs, minimizing the risk of joint failure, and making it suitable for scenarios where high mobility is not required.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, the robot further includes a charging component 700, a control module 500, and a voice interaction module 600 for receiving external voice signals. The charging component 700 is located at the end of the leg 400 away from the body 200, the voice interaction module 600 is located in the head 100, and at least a portion of the control module 500 is located in the body 200 and electrically connected to the voice interaction module 600 and the charging component 700. The control module 500 receives voice signals transmitted by the voice interaction module 600 and controls the movement of the head 100 and the leg 400 based on the received voice signals, thus realizing the interactive function. The charging interface is located at the end of the leg 400, which not only facilitates docking with ground charging stations, improving charging stability and optimizing battery life management, but also lowers the robot's center of gravity, enhancing stability, and preventing cable tangling.

[0038] In an optional implementation, the control module 500 is also equipped with a charging interface for charging the charging component 700. The control module 500 initiates the charging process via voice commands or autonomous judgment, adjusting its posture in conjunction with the leg movement 400 to achieve precise docking with the charging pile and optimize energy management efficiency. The posture adjustment includes, but is not limited to, postures such as bending over and squatting.

[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, the head 100 integrates a voice interaction module 600, enabling sound source localization. When the control module 500 analyzes the voice signal, it coordinates the head 100 to turn towards the sound source, simultaneously controlling the movement of the legs 400, thus forming a closed loop of audiovisual and motion interaction. During charging, not only can the charging component 700 be charged through the charging interface, but the opening angle of the legs 400 can also be adjusted to facilitate docking with ground charging stations. This also increases the support surface and, combined with a low center of gravity design, enhances stability and prevents cable tangling. Therefore, it can adapt to different charging scenarios, balancing stability and charging convenience, and ensuring stability during the charging process.

[0040] In an alternative implementation, the control module 500 can maintain balance through a gait algorithm during robot movement.

[0041] In one optional embodiment, the leg 400 includes a main leg 401 and a foot 402. One end of the main leg 401 is rotatably mounted on the body 200, and the other end of the main leg 401 is rotatably connected to the foot 402. A charging assembly 700 is disposed on the foot 402, enabling millimeter-level precise docking of the charging station through knee joint adjustment. Simultaneously, the foot 402 can be slightly raised during charging to prevent wear on the charging interface due to hard contact. Specifically, in the charging state, the main leg 401 extends and increases to support the span, while the foot 402 adjusts its grounding angle to adapt to uneven ground. In the movement state, the control module 500 maintains the robot's dynamic balance through the linkage of the hip and knee joints.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, the robot further includes a first actuator 403 and a second actuator 404. The first actuator 403 is connected to the end of the main leg 401 near the body 200, and the second actuator 404 is disposed on the foot 402 and is drive-connected to the main leg 401 to achieve precise control of the main leg 401 and the foot 402, enabling the leg-stepping motion during walking to swing back and forth or extend laterally. The first actuator 403 controls the robot's center of gravity offset, while the second actuator 404 compensates for the ground contact angle of the foot 402 in real time.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, the foot 402 includes a lower foot cover 4022 and an upper foot shell 4021 with an upward protrusion to form a first accommodating cavity. The width of the upper foot shell 4021 and the lower foot cover 4022 is at least not less than the width of the body 200. The main leg 401 is rotatably mounted on the upper foot shell 4021. The lower foot cover 4022 covers the open end of the first accommodating cavity. The second actuator 404 and the charging assembly 700 are accommodated in the first accommodating cavity, causing heavy components such as the second actuator 404 to sink, achieving a high degree of unity between stability and functional integration, and achieving high functional density while ensuring structural strength.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, there are two main legs 401 and two feet 402. The two main legs 401 are spaced apart on the lower end of the body part 200, and the two feet 402 are correspondingly located on the ends of the two main legs 401 away from the body part 200, thereby improving the robot's motion stability and load-bearing capacity. The main legs 401 are arranged in an inverted V-shape, and the distance between them and the body part 200 is greater than half the width of the body part 200, forming a stable triangular support.

[0045] In one optional embodiment, the head 100 includes a head body 101 and an earphone 102. The earphone 102 has a left ear, a right ear, and a connecting frame 1021 connecting the left ear and the right ear. A camera 103 is disposed in the middle of the connecting frame 1021. The camera 103 is electrically connected to the control module 500. The left ear and the right ear are respectively disposed on both sides of the head body 101, so as to realize the three-dimensional integration of acoustic acquisition, visual perception and status display through the structure of the earphone 102, thereby realizing the functional enhancement of human-computer interaction and environmental perception.

[0046] In one optional embodiment, both the left and right earpieces include a fixed outer shell 1022 and a rotating inner shell 1023. The fixed outer shell 1022 is connected to the connecting frame 1021 via the rotating inner shell 1023. The head body 101 is connected to the fixed outer shell 1022. Through the synergistic effect of the fixed outer shell 1022 and the rotating inner shell 1023, multi-functional adaptation is achieved, resolving the contradiction between structural stability and functional adaptability that traditional robot earphones 102 cannot simultaneously address. Furthermore, the precise adjustment capability of the rotating inner shell 1023 allows for simultaneous optimization of voice interaction quality and wearing comfort.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, the left and right ear portions also include mating plates 1024, which are fixed to the fixed outer shell 1022, and the rotating inner shell 1023 is rotatably engaged with the mating plates 1024.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the left and right earpieces also include a light panel 1025, which is housed within a fixed housing 1022, enabling status visualization and enhancing the human-computer interaction experience. The light panel 1025 utilizes a flexible PCB substrate, the surface of which can be covered with a nanoscale light guide film.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the left and right ear portions also include lampshades 1026.

[0050] In an optional implementation, the voice interaction module 600 includes a microphone 601 disposed on the body 200. When the microphone 601 detects a wake word, the light on the light panel 1025 spreads in a wavy pattern. When the robot is in a charging state, the light on the light panel 1025 changes in a breathing pattern.

[0051] In one optional embodiment, the head body 101 includes a first head body shell 1011, a second head body shell 1012, and a display screen 104. The voice interaction module 600 includes a speaker 602. The first head body shell 1011 and the second head body shell 1012 are interlocked to form a second receiving cavity. The speaker 602 is housed in the second receiving cavity and electrically connected to the voice interaction module 600. The display screen 104 is mounted on the first head body shell 1011 and electrically connected to the control module 500.

[0052] In an optional embodiment, the head body 101 includes a protective shell 1013, which covers the outside of the display screen 104 for protecting the display screen 104.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the body portion 200 includes a first body shell 201, a second body shell 202, a body connecting shell 203, and a connecting post 204.
