Description

DESCRIPTION

of a patent application for a UTILITY MODEL entitled:

Virtual reality and artificial intelligence platforms for the use of exoskeletons as supports for the person in sport, play, education, space, work, health.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

the use of Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence platforms joins the new applications of robotics and biorobotics for exoskeletons. . Today the present invention offers a tool for the possibility of improving the quality of life at a low cost and with a high added value.

We define the ways that the person must apply to perform the preferred task, or freely move. The "Body-Mind" system integrates the virtual reality of the virtual system with the biorobotic signals necessary for movement that come from the person's body, to cooperate with the desired, expected and necessary movement of the body itself. You will have a nice, computer controlled action in the data acquisition for the program, and by the controllers software. The emotional, physiological, psychological and human sensation that the person feels in feeling that he is in command of his body with the natural consent that comes from his own proprioception, and in perceiving the executable possibility of movements is very strong and positive.

STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE

The state of the art indicates that today in order to interpret virtual reality there is no very strong and integrated application, which translates into platforms for controlling the movement of a person. So you need to create a Virtual Reality platform to be able to apply it outside of calculation and graphics programs. This new function of the platform is useful because it allows to use all the virtual reality proposals of the latest generation, and to face new strong developments for five aspects, namely play, work in industry, education, sport and health.

The human system in recent decades has become accustomed to artificial intelligence and biorobotics, protagonists of programmed and safe behaviors also in defense of the health and integrity of the human body and spirit.

Systems engineering and design also contribute to offering innovative and new possibilities, which very often integrate the desires of the person with the reality of everyday life, freed from its constraints and available at its openings.

The single pieces of this mental and physical reality, and in any case human, have been intertwined with cultural civilization and civil and social development in many parts of the world, in recent decades of pervasive communication and sharing of global experiences. "Body - mind" becomes more and more an indissoluble binomial, on which daily reality is reshaped, based on the wishes and daily needs of every human being.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The individual components of the Virtual Reality platform, with vision, touch, voice, and the algorithms of the Artificial Intelligence platform cause the movement of the person, who with different parts of the body can move, through the logical and emotional perception of the situation, for the play, work, education, sport, medical, space. The system uses Virtual Reality with a platform that operates with Artificial Intelligence, so that in the end there is the action of the exoskeleton, in its functions, and of the individual components.

A basic computer and internet network are required for connections, with the additions of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Artificial Intelligence programs, and with programs to be developed from the initial Virtual Reality platform. It is necessary to use all the theory and all the algorithms concerning movement, control, automation and robotics, which are of support and help in the movements of the body, in the interpretation of the mind.

The material that can constitute a "body-mind" is the integrated sum of hardware and software. Hardware are the computing and communication systems, with each device supporting the necessary functions that we have already reported. In addition, the whole group of biorobotics elements, which are to be housed as a "body shell" on the human body, must be immediately applied. They are in particular motors, control boards, drivers, encoders, motion and force sensors. Every sensor that is necessary, and large memories are essential to manage Deep Learning and Social Learning, as implicit in the Artificial Intelligence platform. The design of the biorobotics part must be well applied, in natural times and ways, offering the best performance.

In addition to his physical nature, the person carries out exoskeletal systems with his own code, which help him in movement and eventually impose movements that are more associated with virtual ones. Basically the brain, starting from virtual reality, ultimately controls the movement. The action is also carried out by the person, who practically executes what virtual reality proposes as a hypothesis of reality, which is loved with strong and sympathetic emotions.

So figure 1 shows how a person can systematically wear a virtual system, (and let's talk about vision for example), to build something they like, through virtual data, and then inventing for example a dance party, a ski descent , a nice swim or a walk in the woods.

With the exoskeleton, for movement, you can also act spontaneously, guided by biorobotics, to which you can ask for help for the best dynamic conditions.

In movement, the best dynamic and kinematic condition of the body can occur, and thus again acquire virtual reality resources.

Figure 1 shows that the person invents the fun function he likes, for example dancing, skiing, a walk in the woods, a walk in new places, a visit to a museum, a special synchronized gymnastics, a course specialized in climb. A program called up by the Artificial Intelligence launches the corresponding program of the exoskeleton which then performs the movement of help to the person who becomes present in the dance, in the skiing, in the visits, in the various foreseen situations.

The design must follow each phase of the project in parallel, suggesting or imposing the most beautiful and appreciated solutions, and which integrate with the environment and with the psychological conditions of the protagonists.

Virtual reality applied to the biorobotics project finally leads him to the world of entertainment, fun, light sport, pleasant walk and simple and satisfying physical fatigue, with the pleasure of physical and mental activity. This is how the developing system works.

The person chooses the type of activity among those proposed by the Body-Mind program, which are sports for running, tennis, soccer, table tennis, skeet shooting, motor racing, martial arts, swimming, and others . Furthermore, he / she must choose / can choose which biorobotic support to accept and like, if only on the lower limbs or only on the upper limbs or on the whole body, including the bust and neck. Here the choice activates the different software prepared for the desired controlled execution. Free of movement, ensuring a strong safety to the user, high quality sportsman or simple sports amateur.

In this way, from the archive of all programs, from the network or from the cloud, only the specific and personal part of the biorobotic motor control is downloaded, which replaces the hard core of the program.

In this phase, if it happens for the first time, the user must provide a photograph or more photographs, on the anatomical parts that he wants to be protected by the Body Shell to control in a biorobotic way. They are feet, knees, legs, arms, elbow, neck, torso, and possibly others. The photographic data, complete and clear, are also supported by the image of a standard length, so that the figure allows to create, in Solidworks, a Body Shell image to be built with a 3D printer, and to be supplied to the user with all the checks and securities, at the lowest possible cost.

The strong step towards Body-Mind is the introduction of virtual reality, which takes place by making available the Virtual Reality equipment (hence VR Device), the connection accessories, i.e. cables, wires, batteries, and more, and in particular the software of each device and of the entire VR system.

This equipment must be beautiful, comfortable, reliable, rich in performance, easy to connect with the Body-Shell system, and highly satisfying for the user.

The current most popular virtual reality equipment are numerous:

VR visual glasses, for normal wear,

Visual exploration systems,

Haptic gripping and manipulation systems,

Navigation systems with virtual cars or bicycles, with the virtual sensation of the user's movement control; Virtual handling systems with virtual movement of objects,

Training systems for action and command, where the use of VR allows you to train, learn, teach

The results of a project always remain fundamental elements for evaluating it. The results of this project are intended towards the hand as the most intelligent extremity of man, but in reality towards everything that is the interaction between man and the world, the connections to the external world, and also to the psychological internal one. and emotional. All connections must be checked, underlined, used for the best possible quality of life.

We therefore want to immediately highlight that the two fundamental poles of the system are the virtual reality of commercial virtual systems, at low cost, usable by anyone even in different forms, and, as a second pole, the exoskeletal system, that is Body Shell.

So we want to build something that is used, presented, experienced, captured on TV, understood with music and phrases. This proposal indicates one's own vision and therefore with this virtual reality objects and the body itself can be moved, moving the engines of the body Shell towards complete and satisfying physical and mental participation.

The notes from Figures 1 to 8 are significant. The Figures illustrate well the basic concepts of the present invention. Figure 1 shows that the system relies on virtual reality methods, and we have as examples glasses, gloves, interaction systems. In the environment, the person essentially creates the virtual world on which he relies and which overlaps the real world, adding or removing images and information according to dedicated needs.

Figure 2 shows that the system moves according to the wishes of the person and is controlled by motors, in an automatic way, as it could be in the field of industrial work where very often the movements are robotic. Figure 3 shows that these realities already present different cases that show how the human body and human desires for movement can become strategic points of life, as conditions for improvement. They are certainly more positive than those of many computer simulated game systems, where what we perform is simply a bounce with movements that we build without any consciousness and without the measure of what is being done,

Figure 4 shows that the perceived reality completely leans on the real one with the help of the Artificial Intelligence platform. Figure 5 indicates that there is a strong application of the union between rigid and inflexible system and virtual reality with artificial intelligence, towards human behavior.

The present invention deals with methodological, mental, psychological, creative tools, with the birth of rapid drawings, colors, beauty which are fundamental elements for a beautiful quality of life, which is increased by cultural enrichment and substantial enjoyment.

In Figure 6 we consider how this reality constitutes the structure, different from man to man and from woman to woman, but the historical mechanical basis is known, always together with the discourse of emotionality, logic, functionality. Figure 7 is systems and shows that sensory data are received by the person and are transmitted to the processor, which, by applying the rules of Artificial Intelligence, creates the conditions for the behavior of the operating system, which the person wears, as an exoskeleton. The data is stored and saved in Deep Learning.

Figure 8 is concise. It shows that the command operates the exoskeleton, with the Artificial Intelligence platform expressing the functional choices for movement.
