[0001] ROBOTIC TELE CONTROL ARRANGEMENT J
[0002] Description of the invention
[0003] Technical field of the invention
[0004] This invention relates to a tele control of robots to carry out different tasks, such as driving a vehicle, bus, boat, train, aircraft, or delivering a speech, attending a meeting, or performing medical, technical, diagnosis, inspection, repair, firefighting, security, guarding, orfaQade cleaning tasks.
[0005] Introduction
[0006] UAVs, drones, and robotic dogs are produced currently to carry out a little bit difficult robotic tasks either autonomously, or via remote control, while robots are still under development to carry out tasks under human supervision.
[0007] Their applications still limited, while a mass production of any machine should be engaged with a wide variety of applications. So, inventing a robotic machine with different capabilities without engaging that with inventing the suitable widespread or necessary applications is useless.
[0008] One of the major jobs which most of the humans are doing today is vehicle driving, that is why autonomous vehicles are under development. Five levels of autonomous driving are categorized, wherein level 5 is for fully autonomous vehicles. Currently level 2 autonomous vehicles are produced, while level 3 autonomous vehicles which are produced during 2024 by some auto companies for tests are expected to make up 12.0% of the global vehicles on 2030. Level 5 vehicles are not expected to appear in the near future, the first actual ones may appear after 2035, that is to mean the fully autonomous vehicles may have a considerable ratio on roads in-between 2050 to 2075.
[0009] As a result, some companies invented tele driving, VAY Technologies GMBH is one of these companies. Tele driving is also known as remote driving, typically involves a remote driver remotely operating a vehicle using real time video-feeds, sensors and augmented reality overlays, the driver is setting remotely facing multiple screens, and operating a steering wheel, accelerator pedal, brake pedal, and automatic transmission shift lever...etc., in addition to other systems supporting security and high safety standards. The first invention of Vay is disclosed under US patent publication no. 20220014763 published on 13.01 .2022, another important patent application for VAY is under no. 20240059305 published on 22.02.2024. The idea behind tele driving is to provide a bridge between level 5 fully autonomous vehicles and level 3, rather than to wait for level 5 fully autonomous vehicles.
[0010] Vay got benefit from the developments on level 2 vehicles, as will as the running developments on level 3 vehicles, such as steering wheel autonomous control, pedals controls, Lidar systems...etc.
[0011] But tele driving application is still limited on level 2 autonomous vehicles at minimum and limited to driving a vehicle remotely to a customer, who needs to drive it personally to his destination; so, this technology even it is moving a step forward toward driverless vehicles, it still has limitations. Currently, over 90.0% of the vehicles on the roads are not adaptable to remote driving, because they are not having autonomous steering, pedals, and shift levers control. Here, this invention aims to cover these gaps, and pass such limitations, such that either the vehicle is semi-autonomous or not, it can be driven remotely, as the interface here is a robot, this concept and technical application should be generalized to different technical, medical, security, guarding, guiding, or other civil service sectors.
[0012] Disclosure of the invention
[0013] Brief description of the invention
[0014] This invention is building on and adopting tele driving technologies, wherein a robotic tele control arrangement 20 drives a vehicle via an interface which is a robot 21, rather than depending on tele controlling the technologies and mechanisms which are installed on at minimum level 2 autonomous vehicle, as a necessity to use a remote control standstill cockpit 22, simulating a vehicle cockpit, driven by a remote driver operating remotely the driving mechanisms and devices inside the actual vehicle via a robot interface 21 , these mechanisms include a steering wheel 23 for turning, pedals 24 for stepping down, gear shift lever 25 for shifting the transmission lever 25 position (P R N D), light switch 26 for switching on / off, turn signal light shifting right left, wipers (washers) lever 27 for shifting into different wiping speeds...etc. Wherein here, the robot 21 which is replacingthe human driver isthe one which operates a LI of these, without the need to install mechanisms and technologies on such vehicles with tele-receivers to be actuated remotely. As a result, installing an on-demand robot 21 will cancel the need for these mechanisms and technologies, and save their costs.
[0015] The robot 21 which consists of side view cameras 28, hands 29, adjustable angle feet 30, earphones 31 , speakers 32, and other necessary control units 33, in addition to the vehicle computer vision equipment 34, all are set to transmit remotely a semi-driver and vehicle vision to a remote driver inside a cockpit 22 equipped with real-time screens 35 and driving equipment 36, which will remotely control (tele drive) movements of the robot 21 to drive the vehicle, such that the robot 21 simulates the movements of the remote human driver.
[0016] So, one benefit here is that if the robot 21 got idle, it can be sent to a repair workshop separately while the car is still driveable, while in the available tele driving, if one of the installed mechanisms or technologies in the vehicle got idle, the whole vehicle should be sent to a workshop, may be via recovery, without the capability of the tele driver to drive it. Here, the vehicles elected for tele-robotic driving are tested first regarding safety and periodic maintenance, while licensed vehicles with warning lights or messages on their instrument cluster are terminated from tele-driving until such issues are solved.
[0017] In total, the tele driving technologies here are adopted to drive the movement or actions of the hands 29, feet 30, and the head 37 of the robot 21 to simulate that of the remote driver. Detailed description of the invention
[0018] The robot 21 to be controlled by a remote driver to drive a car is modified or reshaped to consist of the following technologies:
[0019] 1 - Seven eyes (cameras) 28: the head 37 of the robot 21 is equipped with seven eyes (cameras) 28 distributed on its front top and sides to provide a real time view for the cockpit 21 front and side screens 35, these cameras 28 are: 1-A front view camera 38 for the front view such as the roads, their situation, sign boards, traffic lights, and passersby, 2-right side viewing camera 39 for viewing the outer right side of the vehicle, 3-camera 40 pointed at the right rearview mirror, 4- camera 41 pointed at the centre rear view mirror, 5-left side view camera 42 to view the outer right side of the vehicle, 6- camera 43 pointed at the left rear view mirror, and 7-rear view camera 44 at the top rear side of the robot head 37, to view the inner rear side of the vehicle and surroundings.
[0020] Notice: These cameras 28 can be reduced if in a vehicle the traditional mirrors are replaced with vehicle rear side view cameras 45 with the capabilities to receive the cameras 45 views wirelessly either by the robot 21 which will transmit them to the remote driver or being received by the remote driver directly from the vehicle side cameras 45.
[0021] 2- Four hands 29: the robot is equipped with: 1 - Two conventional right hand 46 and left hand 47 to hold (grab) the vehicle’s steering wheel used for turning it right and left by instantly and perfectly simulating the steering wheel angle and direction movements performed by the remote driver. 2- a lower right-side hand 48 to shift the vehicle’s automatic transmission lever to the position selected by the remote driver, in addition to controlling the audio / comfort screen functions, while the lower left-side hand 49 of the robot 20 is used to control the light levers and switches, in addition to the windows open close positions.
[0022] Notice: lower right-hand 48 and lower left-hand 49 hands to be used too for actuating other functions on the screens, switches, wiper control lever, light control lever... or to be removed (cancelled) if the main hands 29 can carry out all driving operations in such a way simulating the two hands of the remote human driver.
[0023] 3- Two legs 50 ending with two high precision adjustable angle feet 30, such that the right one is in a full touch with the accelerator pedal 51 , and the left one is in a full touch with the brake pedal 52, wherein each is instantly and perfectly simulating the specific pedal press / release angle position and direction performed by the remote driver.
[0024] Notice: each foot 30 of the robot 21 is equipped with an angle position sensor. - Two ears (earphones) 31 : the robot 21 is equipped with two ears 31, technically earphones 31 to transfer all the surrounding sounds to the tele driver either from the road, passengers, vehicle horns, police or ambulance or civil defence vehicle sirens. It is also equipped with a mouth speaker 32 to transfer an Al replies or speech from the robot 21 itself, or from the remote driver. - Intelligent learning system (ILS) 53: the robot 21 is equipped with a traditional intelligent learning system 53 to learn, analyse, and apply all methods and acts followed by the remote driver for all driving conditions, either while the whole system is under development, training, or while in use. All the learned driving manners are sent to a global data centre for processing these data via Al systems, then developed to be a driving instructions used either to accelerate the development of the autonomous vehicles, as well as usingthem at emergencies, such that the (ILS) 53 could actuate a fail-safe function to handle a difficult driving situation, in addition to be prepared for performing independent driving in a nearby future, without the need for the remote driver.
[0025] Notice: the data collected from all robots 21 should be retrieved wirelessly, for processing and development to produce independent driver robots 21 for non-fully autonomous vehicles. - Fail-safe function: in addition to what is mentioned in point 5, the robotic - drivers 21 warn the remote drivers if they would violate the traffic rules and can take action to prevent such issues. In addition to monitoring the instrument cluster data, and updating the remote driver about that, wherein accordihgto the robotic driver 21 settings and specific robot noise-vibration sensors 54, if it feels a vehicle noise or vibration, jerking, hesitation, pulling right or left, bouncing, skidding... it reports and warns the remote driver instantly. - Plug-in wire 55 for electricity charging: the robot 21 is equipped with a plugin charger; the robot itself engages it to the power outlet inside the vehicle for electricity charging. - Human shape drivers: The tele driver robots 21 are well-dressed, with acceptable shapes, and trained to simulate selected drivers with regard to nationality, kind manners, polite communications, and talking in multi- languages. For a family vehicle, the robot may simulate the father shape, or mother, or their driver.
[0026] The operation of the tele-robotic driving process starts either with a permanently robot 21 setting on a driver seat, or by guiding the robot 21 or remotely controlling it toward a vehicle, opening the driver door via conventional methods, getting in or installing the robot 21 inside a specific vehicle, adjusting the setting of the robot 21 , fixing the seat belt, then the robot itself via its own setting and cameras 28 recognizes the shape, location, and direction of the vehicle’s steering wheel, start switch, levers, pedals, mirrors... etc.
[0027] Remotely controlling a robot 21 which drives a vehicle is carried via a specially trained and licensed remote driver inside a remote cockpit 22, nationally or internationally, wherein the remotely trained driver, drives the vehicle accordin to a timed schedule from his cockpit 22, either installed inside his house, or inside a nearby remote driving cockpit 22 facility as disclosed in the prior art, such that the cockpit 22 is equipped with access locking 56 and view blocking 57 systems, nobody can interfere while the driver is driving remotely, nobody can open the door of his cockpit 22, even he himself, nobody can stand or knock or shout on him, while he is blocked from seeing anything around his cockpit 22, as the front screen and side windows of his cockpit are established to be display screens 35 transmitting a real-time view of the actual vehicle surrounding views, but still his cockpit 22 is equipped with a communication system. If there is an emergency, he should stop the vehicle via the remotely driven robot 21 first, then his cockpit 22 allows him to open its door or communicate with others. The driver’s situation is to be monitored, such that a substitute driver interferes and takes over when needed.
[0028] So, such a tele robotic driving technology could be modified and employed over all kinds of existing (currently available) vehicles on roads and in market, that is by installing a driver robot (robotic simulator) 21 inside a vehicle, this robot 21 simulates fully the movements and actions of the remote driver, more clearly, when the remote driver moves his right hand, then his finger to press the start switch, to start the engine, the robotic simulator 21 inside the actual vehicle does the same, then when the remote driver press brake and shift the transmission lever to Drive position, the robotic simulator inside the actual vehicle does the same, next, when the remote driver releases the brake pedal and presses the gas pedal; the robot perfectly simulates that to the same angle which is moved by the pedals inside the remote cockpit. When the remote driver turns on the right signal light; instantly the robotic driver 21 turns the signal light lever 26 right, and when the remote driver turns the steering right, instantly the robotic driver turns the steering wheel 22 to the same angle and for the same duration done by the remote driver. Clearly, the robotic simulator 21 inside the actual vehicle does like the remote driver, wherein the mechanisms inside the robot 21 , receive the signals from the cockpit 22, to move a part of. the robot 21 via a signal receiver 58, to move that part of the robot 21 , to move a part of the vehicle controlling its driving like a steering wheel 23.
[0029] In another way, such application is already proved, wherein Vay semi-autonomous taxis, with their steering wheels, pedals..., are moving instantly like the remote driver.
[0030] So, remote human controllers and robotic simulators 21 lim itedly for vehicles driving, and generally for a lot of machines and a lot of industries, could be revolutionary with a lot of benefits... one of them, at pandemics, not only online jobs depending on writing, photos, or videos can be done from home, but even a lot of manual, physical, and technical jobs could be remotely controlled and carried out. It is obvious for the inventor that the method of remote driving of vehicles via robotics could be generalized in many industries.
[0031] Such a technical feature, would save the jobs of drivers who may be replaced with autonomous systems, driving the autonomous vehicles, while these drivers do not need to move inside the vehicles and occupy a seat inside, or to move from neighborhood to neighborhood, or to another city or even travel to another country to work under all environmental conditions inside the vehicle, but they can simply get a single seat small cockpit 22 (like in a play station) with the driving facilities steering, light levers and switches, gas pedal, brake pedal, and transmission shift lever, speakers, instrument cluster, and watch screen, location map screen... provided to remotely control driving via a robotic interface 21 occupying the driver seat inside the remote vehicle and supported when necessary with devices installed on it or on the vehicle such as: cameras, computer vision cameras, distance sensors, Lidar, GPS, speed sensors, mikes...etc.
[0032] So, the driver’s driving experience will be a safe, enjoyable, non-exhausting, and money saving job, while the gasoline or electricity, spare parts, and maintenance required due to replacing his load as a taxi driver with a light robotic driver 21 , all are saved, with no need to leave his family for a day, or a week or to travel abroad for a year or years to work outside his country. While rich countries could save a lot of money, by renting remote drivers, without the need to pay them salaries like in their guest countries, or make visas, tickets, provide accommodation, insurance, expensive food...etc. The robotic driver 21 simulating them could translate their speech into suitable language too.
[0033] Taxi tele-robotic drive, in steps: a- According to a timed schedule, a remote driver inside his remote cockpit 22 controls a robot 21 to drive a land vehicle toward passengers’ location to meet them on time. b- On an external scanning device or screen, the passengers input a code, or password, or scan a QR code to open the vehicle doors, get in with their luggage, and sit on any passenger seat. c- Load sensors evaluate the added weight, if it is within the permitted setting. d- The remote driver drives the vehicle via robot 21 to a selected destination.
[0034] Public car tele-robotic drive:
[0035] Either governmental vehicles or private sector vehicles could get inside their vehicles, buses, or trucks a remotely controlled driver robots 21 , these can be controlled via remote drivers either having the remote driver cockpit 22 installed inside their homes, or inside specific stations inside a neighbourhood, or inside a department of their company, or rented drivers abroad from any suitable country.
[0036] Logistics or shipment delivery car, tele-robotic drive:
[0037] When orders are received for shipment delivery, a driver inside his cockpit tele control a robot 21 to drive a specific vehicle from any specified location to shipment uploading area, then tele control the robot 21 to drive the vehicle to a downloading location, wherein either the robot 21 downloads the shipment, or provides access for a specific person, or delivery tool to receive the shipment.
[0038] Personal (Private) car tele-robotic drive:
[0039] Normally, any family member, or a family driver needs to drive a vehicle with a passenger from their family, or their guests to a specific location. For example, a father drives his own vehicle with his children to drop them to a training centre, he needs to wait for some time inside the car until they come back, and drive them back, or he drives the car to send a specific device for repair, wait there until finishing it, or to bring ready luggage, food, cosmetics, he needs to drive by himself, also he needs to drive the car itself to a workshop, drop it there, come back with a friend, taxi...etc.
[0040] With tele-robotic driving all of these are solved, via a tele-robotic driving, no need to leave his home, wait there, and drive back. Any of these could be done via having a tele-robot cockpit 22 arrangement, or renting a remote driver to do this task remotely, such that if a family member or their driver drives the vehicle, he does not need to go with the vehicle and wait there for anybody or anything to return to the vehicle, he can do other jobs, up to being called to tele-control the driver robot 21 to drive the vehicle back. Also, he or a remote driver can drive the vehicle from his location, without the need to come back with a taxi...etc, these are just examples how the process is time, effort, and money saving. Remote robot control further embodiments and applications:
