Description

A robot equipped with a video transmission / reception unit and a voice transmission module that enables web and video transmission and remote control in real time {WEB Robot System Attached Vision, Sound and Transmitting / Receiving Module}

The present inventor is equipped with a video camera and a voice transmission / reception module using a camera and a wireless LAN card in a robot and transmits the video and voice in real time using a web server through the Internet. Web server (WEB server) processes this signal and services it to the client, and the web server sends the client's control signal to the robot wherever web connection is possible. The goal is to create a system that can be controlled in or out of the box. Incidentally, the inventors aimed to be able to devise a product which is convenient to use, simple to manufacture, and inexpensive and immediately sold.

The present inventors have invented a video and audio transmission system, which is currently limited to a short distance and a fixed place, to be able to control and receive images at a long distance through the Internet. Site that can be connected to the internet (wireless LAN card type, computer and internet communication type) using mobile robot equipped with camera and wireless LAN card. It was invented to be able to easily transmit and receive video and audio signals and to control the position of the robot freely anywhere using the Internet. In addition, the inventor has invented to produce a complex implementation of a variety of techniques, such as robot control technology, robot automatic charging technology, a control program using a website.

Currently, technology for transmitting video and audio is possible in a wired or limited place, but there is no case in which a robot capable of two-way communication in real time while moving a video and voice by remote control using the Internet has not been announced. In particular, robots that can be remotely controlled using the Internet are very practical and useful systems. Although only some of them are implemented in the security field or the surveillance equipment field for the transmission of video, the ones designed for mobile use only use the wireless at close range, and the control itself becomes difficult and costly when it is out of the effective range of control. to be.

The present invention not only transmits video and audio wirelessly, but also enables remote data communication at low cost by using an existing internet network, and it can be utilized for security and surveillance. Data transfer can be performed locally. The present invention invents a system to enable data transmission in real time while moving a robot equipped with a video camera and a voice transmission / reception module using a camera and a wireless LAN card by enabling remote control using the Internet. It was.

The inventors have solved the cost problem of constructing a dedicated network incurred at the time of transmitting / receiving a long distance image and invented to transmit / receive with a robot in real time when the Internet network can be connected anywhere in the world. In addition, the invention has been invented so that it can be controlled by a group or an individual having limited authority by checking an ID (ID) given to the robot during remote internet control. The control robot was invented so that a simple control task could be performed in the place where the robot was located by attaching a device using blue tooth, a short-range communication protocol (communication model with a computer with internet access), Video and audio transmission and reception bands were invented to use the most realistic band. Invented so that security, monitoring, exploration, rescue request, etc. can be easily performed using this control technology, and invented to enable the lowest cost and quick installation.

ㆍ Invented so that it can be used in all areas reaching the communication network without any limitation of space using the Internet network.

ㆍ Invented so that various connection can be made without communication cost in connection with the internet network in the form of general digital camera and wireless LAN card attached to the robot.

ㆍ Where a web browser can be used, it has been invented so that video and audio transmitted from a robot can be processed at a long distance from anywhere without the need of installing a specific program.

Built-in intelligent charging function (auto-sensing charging function) of the robot was invented so that it could be powered by itself whenever needed.

ㆍ Invented the server for ID management of each robot and limitedly managed robot management.

ㆍ Special language recognition function was added to the robot to automatically respond to security or rescue requests, and was invented to automatically send the contents of data to specific areas.

end. A schematic diagram of a robot system that can be remotely controlled through a web with a robot equipped with a video camera and a voice transmission / reception module using a camera and a wireless LAN card (Fig. 1).

I. A robot system with a video camera and a voice transmission / reception module using a camera and a wireless LAN card that can be remotely controlled through the web (robot system) (Figure 2)

1) The present invention was invented so that the remote control robot equipped with the structure capable of transmitting video and voice signals is composed of a program that enables data transmission and reception and remote robot control on the Internet.

2) The driving part of the robot uses a DC motor, a step motor, etc. to attach a LAN card, a storage device and a storage device to a small computer main board, and then through a camera and a microphone. Invented as a structure for receiving video and audio signals.

3) The structure of the robot input signal side was invented as a structure to which a camera, a LAN card and a microphone can be attached.

4) It is designed to be applied to security or rescue request after recognizing specific words by adding voice recognition function to robot.

5) The driving unit of the robot was invented to satisfy all terrains and situations by using various types of wheels or a driving unit that can cross a caterpillar and a curved terrain.

ㆍ The present invention was designed to transmit video and audio in real time without additional installation cost simply using the Internet network, so that the invention can be improved for human life and convenience.

ㆍ Due to the expansion of the telecommunications market, the transmission of voice and video has become a necessity, but there are problems that cannot be overcome from basic matters such as expensive installation cost and transmission method except for short distance, and even remote control transmission. However, by inventing a new type of video and voice transmission and reception method using the mobile robot and the internet network of the present invention, the present invention can be efficiently utilized for security, rescue, surveillance, and exploration.
