Method for securing a humanoid robot

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for securing a humanoid robot in a vehicle, in particular in the driver's seat or passenger seat of a vehicle used on the grounds of various enterprises, for example, where the robot acts as a driver or as a passenger if battery charging is required, and also to a method for securing a humanoid robot when used as an adult toy. The technical result of the invention is an increase in safety levels during the use of a robot. The method for securing a humanoid robot in a fixed position includes the following steps: positioning the humanoid robot in the place where it is to be secured; securing the humanoid robot at at least one point on the lower leg to a fixed object. The present method for securing a humanoid robot can be useful in the case that a vehicle is used alternately by humans and humanoid robots.

Description

[0001] Method of fixing an anthropomorphic robot

[0002] AREA OF TECHNOLOGY

[0003] The invention relates to a method for securing an anthropomorphic robot in a vehicle, in particular, in the driver's or passenger's seat of a vehicle used in the interior areas of various enterprises, for example, where the robot acts as a driver or passenger if batteries need to be charged, as well as a method for securing an anthropomorphic robot when using it as a toy for adults.

[0004] LEVEL OF TECHNOLOGY

[0005] The applicant did not identify any prior art analogues.

[0006] DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

[0007] The objective of the claimed invention is to develop a safe method for securing an anthropomorphic robot in a stationary position.

[0008] The technical result of the invention is to increase the level of safety when using a robot.

[0009] The said technical result is achieved due to the fact that the method for fixing the anthropomorphic robot in a stationary position includes the following steps: positioning the anthropomorphic robot at the fixation point; fixing the anthropomorphic robot at at least one point of the shin to a stationary object.

[0010] The robot can be fixed in a standing, sitting, lying, or on all fours position.

[0011] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0012] The invention will be better understood from the description, which is not limiting in nature and is given with reference to the accompanying drawings, which show:

[0013] Fig. 1 - fixation of the anthropomorphic robot: a) in a standing position; b) on all fours to the floor,

[0014] 1 - fixation point.

[0015] IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] The claimed method is implemented as follows. First, the anthropomorphic robot is positioned at the fixation point. Then, the anthropomorphic robot is secured to a fixed object at at least one point (1) of its shin using a fixation device (any known fasteners that allow the anthropomorphic robot to be firmly secured can be used).

[0017] When using an anthropomorphic robot in a vehicle, such as a car (truck or passenger car), it is secured with its shin on the floor under the dashboard, or to the front wall of the vehicle body where the instrument panel is mounted, or to a fixed bracket on the front passenger or driver's seat, or to a special mounting device attached to the vehicle body in front of the front driver's seat without touching it. This attachment position allows the robot to be securely fastened in the vehicle without sitting on the vehicle seat, but rather following the contours of the seat.

[0018] When using the robot as a life-like anatomical medical device for collecting male seminal fluid or when using it without medical indications as an adult toy, the robot is fixed, for example, on all fours with its shin on the floor.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] When securing an anthropomorphic robot in a standing position in a vehicle, the anthropomorphic robot is positioned standing on the vehicle floor against the front wall of the vehicle body, where the instrument panel is mounted. The anthropomorphic robot is then secured in place at two points (1) of the lower leg using a fixation device—two ball studs. The ball ends of these studs are inserted into the lower leg at two attachment points, while the other threaded ends of the studs are secured to a fixed bracket on the vehicle body using a threaded connection. This allows the robot to be securely fixed without touching the driver's seat, minimizing modifications to the production vehicle.

[0021] Example 2

[0022] When fixing an anthropomorphic robot on all fours as a toy for adults, the anthropomorphic robot is placed on all fours on the floor. Then, the anthropomorphic robot is fixed on all fours at at least one point (1) of the shin to the floor using a ball pin fixing means, the ball end of which is inserted into the shin at one attachment point, and the other end of the ball pin, which has a thread, is fixed to the floor using a threaded connection.

[0023] The claimed invention allows for the secure attachment of an anthropomorphic robot to the shin area, minimizing the risk of injury to a person during its use (when in a moving vehicle, as a medical device, or as a toy for an adult) by reducing the anthropomorphic robot's degrees of freedom. Furthermore, securing the anthropomorphic robot's shin allows it to accurately determine its location relative to its surroundings—either the vehicle or the floor (if the robot is stationary). Reducing the robot's degrees of freedom also reduces the processing power requirements of its processor. The invention has been described above with reference to a specific embodiment. Other embodiments of the invention may be obvious to those skilled in the art, but they do not alter its essence as described herein.Accordingly, the invention should be considered as limited in scope only by the following claims.

Claims
