MODULAR FRAME FOR AN INTELLIGENT ROBOT
A modular frame for an intelligent robot includes a base and one or more devices for performing specified functions. The base controls the actions and functions of the robot and contains a memory of operating instructions for a plurality of modules, each module performing unique functions. The base has a smart connector. The devices for performing specified functions have a smart connector which contains a unique code for that device or module and firmware for operation of the module. When a module is affixed on the modular frame, the smart connector of the module electronically communicates with the smart connector of the base, thereby providing the base with sufficient operating information to operate the intelligent robot.
1 . A modular frame for an intelligent robot, comprising:
A base controlling the actions and functions of said robot and containing a memory of operating instructions for a plurality of modules, each module performing unique functions, and said base having a smart connector;
One or more devices or modules for performing specified functions and having a smart connector, said smart connector containing a unique code for said device or module and firmware for operation of said module; and
Wherein when a module is affixed on said modular frame, said smart connector of said module electronically communicates with said smart connector of said base, thereby providing said base with sufficient operating information to operate said intelligent robot.
2 . A modular frame according to claim 1 , wherein said base including a robot basic operating system and hardware code that controls and commands physical devices and modules affixed to said modular frame of said robot.
3 . A modular frame according to claim 1 , wherein said base including CPU, MCU and power supply boards, a robot operating system Command library, and an Artificial Intelligence engine.
4 . A modular frame according to claim 1 , wherein said base further comprising a communications protocol.
