GB2474318A - Humanoid robot with interchangeable legs for different terrain - Google Patents

Abstract

The feet and legs of a humanoid robot (fig. 4) are designed such that they can be changed for different types to suit different terrain e.g. normal type for floors and indoors, motorised track type feet (7 fig. 2) for outdoors or suction type feet (12 fig. 2) for wet snowy surfaces or for climbing. A knee joint may allow the changing of legs and feet, the joint including a ball type rotating connector 1 and a swivel joint 2, the joint allowing 180-360 of rotation whilst stationary and including a magnetic point of attachment. The robot may be four feet (120cm) high, electrically powered with manipulative hands, a variety of sensors, a belted tool holder and liquid nitrogen cooling of the surface of the robot. The robot may be used to disable or destroy improvised explosive devices in order to reduce the risks to personnel.

Description

ROBOTIC RESCUE SYSTEMS.

DESCRIPTION.

These are human mannequin type robots, used to search and destroy explosives and security scan checks, with legs that are intechangeable in three differnt varieties.

These robots contain a, computer processing unit that is self sufficient, but can also interact with human controller PC.

b, Sensors c,Manipulative hands d,legs that are detachable at the knee level, consisting of a magnetic point of attachment that allows them to swivel through 180-36Odegrees.

e,They run on electric batteries.

f,There is an option of a double layered overall that has liquid nitrogen circulating through it such that temperature is kept below night vision levels.

Their computer processing unit are self sufficient and encrypted such that the hardware cannot be disabled by hacking.

They have object sensors, light sensors, and movement sensors. They can avoid oncoming objects and missiles and can navigate without hitting things.

Also their signals are changeable to avoid signal interference between robots and other nearby signals.

the legs are detachable at the knee level see drawings, three different types of legs are shown, other types can also be added.the point of attachment is magnetic so it is secure.

specifications.

They are four foot height and have processor unit that is housed inside them.

They can raise an alarm silently by notifying personnel via various ways eg computer text or other silent bandwidth signals.

If they are working at night their object sensors will reduce chance of hitting obstacles and therefore reduce noise.

The head gear has light, movement and object sensors which which are able t avoid interference as they have changeable signals frequencies.

The hands and feet also have similar sensors.

The tool belt carries what it needs and it can also carry implements for clearing difficult paths.

It does not use computer assisted vision as the sensors are sufficient however this is a future option.

In case they fall into hostile hands they should have a self destruct option.

This robotic systems have a capability to reduce loss of life greatly.
