Abstract

A mobile robot includes a driver configured to provide a traveling function, a body disposed at an upper side of the driver, a concave portion recessed inward from a surface of the body, a vent hole formed at an upper side of the concave portion, and a guide inclined surface formed at a lower side of the concave portion. During traveling of the mobile robot, the mobile robot induces inflow of air so that the body can be cooled.

Claims (35)

1. A mobile robot comprising:

a driver configured to provide a traveling function;

a body disposed at an upper side of the driver;

a concave portion recessed inward from a surface of the body, the concave portion having an upper side and a guide inclined surface extending downward from the upper side;

a sound hole in the guide inclined surface; and

a speaker disposed in the sound hole.

2. The mobile robot of claim 1 , wherein the concave portion is disposed at a lower side of the body, and

wherein the speaker is vertically disposed at the guide inclined surface where the sound hole is formed, the speaker being configured to obliquely output sound toward an upper side of the body.

3. The mobile robot of claim 2 , wherein the guide inclined surface is inclined downward in a direction from an inner portion of the guide inclined surface to an outer portion of the guide inclined surface.

4. The mobile robot of claim 3 , further comprising a first display located at an upper portion of the concave portion.

5. The mobile robot of claim 4 , further comprising a depth camera located above the first display.

6. The mobile robot of claim 1 , wherein the sound hole is located at an inner position relative to an outer end of the concave portion.

7. The mobile robot of claim 1 , further comprising a LIDAR positioned forward of the sound hole.

8. A mobile robot comprising:

a driver configured to provide a traveling function;

a body disposed at an upper side of the driver;

a concave portion recessed inward from a surface of the body, the concave portion having an upper side and a guide inclined surface defining a lower side of the concave portion;

a first display located at an upper portion of the concave portion; and

a head display located above the first display.

9. The mobile robot of claim 8 , wherein the head display is inclined relative to the first display.

10. The mobile robot of claim 9 , further comprising at least one camera between the first display and the head display.

11. The mobile robot of claim 10 , wherein the at least one camera includes a depth camera.

12. The mobile robot of claim 8 , further comprising a LIDAR located below the first display.

13. The mobile robot of claim 12 , wherein the body includes a recess located below the first display, and

wherein the LIDAR is located in the recess.

14. A mobile robot comprising:

a driver configured to provide a traveling function;

a body disposed at an upper side of the driver;

a concave portion recessed inward from a surface of the body, the concave portion having an upper side and a guide inclined surface defining a lower side of the concave portion;

a first display located at an upper portion of the concave portion; and

a camera located above the first display.

15. The mobile robot of claim 14 , wherein the camera is a 3-D camera or an infrared camera.

16. The mobile robot of claim 14 , further comprising a LIDAR located below the first display.

17. The mobile robot of claim 16 , wherein the body includes a recess located below the first display, and

wherein the LIDAR is located in the recess.
