Abstract

An intelligent robot includes at least one accessory to measure activity and state in proximity to the robot; an air filtration module housed in a casing made of a UV blocking material; and a control center to analyze output of the at least one accessory, to recognize a known target user according to the analysis and to control functionality of said robot and the air filtration module for said known target user according to saved preferences for said known target user.

Claims (19)

1. A mobile robot suitable for autonomous movement and/or orientation towards a target, the robot comprising:

a central processing unit (CPU) and a camera suitable for providing an image feed to the CPU;

a UV radiation resistant housing built into the robot and a UV air filter positioned within the housing and suitable for disinfecting air blown out of the robot as clean air via a fan; means suitable for detecting, tracking and orienting the robot to face the target;

means suitable for directing the clean air toward the target;

means suitable for a control center implemented on the CPU identifying the target from the image feed, the means control center comprising a memory module connected to the CPU and containing a database having information about the target used for identifying characteristics of the target;

the control center navigating the robot to face the target and to continue to face the target as the target moves;

an air filtration module directing the clean air toward the target;

wherein;

the camera provides the image feed to the control center which in turn carries out image recognition from the image feed to identify characteristics to detect a face and, once a face is detected, performs an analysis to identify the detected face by an artificial intelligence algorithm using distinguishable landmarks and learning;

and wherein;

by a process of repeated facial detection and learning the memory module database is built and preferences for each target are stored therein;

if a face is already known to the memory module database the robot can direct control center instructs the air filtration module to direct clean air toward the target(s) according to preferences stored in the memory module database for the target(s);

and wherein

by a process of repeated facial detection and learning a database of known users is built;

and wherein;

the robot can be taught preferences of known users and store them in the memory module database;

so that the robot can adjust operation of the fan to the preferences of the target.

2. The robot according to claim 1 , wherein said robot further comprising multiple fans, tubes and vents, wherein air flow is blown by said multiple fans via said tubes through a body of the robot out through vents towards a targeted person or direction.

3. The robot according to claim 1 , wherein said air filter being removably positioned within said robot.
