Modular robot with smart device

摘要

A wearable smart device is configured to be positioned on and external to a robot having a robot sensor for sensing robot data and a robot input/output port. The wearable smart device includes a device sensor capable of detecting device data corresponding to an environment of the wearable smart device. The wearable smart device also includes a device input/output port. The wearable smart device also includes a device processor coupled to the robot sensor via the robot input/output port and the device input/output port. The device processor is also coupled to the device sensor and configured to control the robot based on the robot data and the device data.

1. A wearable device configured to be positioned on and external to a first robot or a second robot each having a robot sensor for sensing robot data and a robot input/output port, and to separately control the first robot or the second robot, the wearable device comprising:
a device sensor capable of detecting wearable device data corresponding to an environment of the wearable device; a device input/output port configured to be coupled to the robot input/output port of the first robot or the robot input/output port of the second robot; a non-transitory memory configured to store data; and a device processor coupled to the device input/output port, the device sensor, and the non-transitory memory and configured to:
determine an action to be performed by the first robot or the second robot;determine physical capabilities of the first robot or the second robot based on data received from the first robot or the second robot via the device input/output port, the first robot having different capabilities than the second robot,determine how to control the first robot or the second robot to perform the action based on the determined physical capabilities of the first robot or the second robot, andcontrol the first robot or the second robot to perform the action based on the robot data of the first robot or the second robot and the wearable device data by transmitting a control signal to the first robot or the second robot via the device input port.
