Abstract

Provided is a training robot having a snack discharging function for health promotion of a pet, the training robot including a moving means; a base having an insertion groove into which a snack box comprising a discharge hole connected to an external space may be inserted; a first driving means disposed between the moving means and the base and connected to the moving means; a second driving means disposed between the moving means and the base and connected to the snack box; and a control means configured to control a snack in the snack box to be discharged to an outside through the discharge hole, wherein the first driving means drives the moving means to move the training robot and the second driving means rotates the snack box.

Claims (50)

1. A training robot having a snack discharging function for health promotion of a pet, the training robot comprising:

a moving means;

a base having an insertion groove into which a snack box comprising a discharge hole connected to an external space may be inserted;

a first driving means disposed between the moving means and the base and connected to the moving means;

a second driving means disposed between the moving means and the base and connected to the snack box; and

a control means configured to control a snack in the snack box to be discharged to an outside through the discharge hole;

wherein the first driving, means drives the moving means to move the training robot and the second driving means rotates the snack box; and

the training robot further comprises a housing surrounding the base to prevent the pet from touching the snack box;

the inserting groove of the base has a depth at which a part of the snack box is exposed in a state where the snack box is inserted;

the snack box further includes a snack box hole; and

the control means is configured to control the snack box hole of the snack box to stop in a direction in which a cover exists by using the rotational position information detected through the sensor.

2. A training robot having a snack discharging function for health promotion of a pet, the training robot comprising:

a moving means;

a base having an insertion groove into which a snack box comprising a discharge hole connected to an external space may be inserted;

a first driving means disposed between the moving means and the base and connected to the moving means;

a second driving means disposed between the moving means and the base and connected to the snack box; and

a control means configured to control a snack in the snack box t be discharged to an outside through the discharge hole;

wherein the first driving means drives the moving means to move the training robot and the second driving means rotates the snack box; and

the training robot further comprises a position detection sensor capable of detecting a rotational position of the snack box;

the snack box further includes a snack box hole; and

the control means is configured to control the snack in the snack box and rotate the fixing groove to rotate the snack to be easily discharged to the outside through the discharge hole by shaking the snack box by a predetermined number of times when the snack box hole enters a set distance from the discharge hole using rotational position information detected through the sensor.

3. A training robot having a snack discharging function for health promotion of a pet, the training robot comprising:

a moving means;

a base having an insertion groove into which a snack box comprising a discharge hole connected to an external space may be inserted;

a first driving means disposed between the moving means and the base and connected to the moving means;

a second driving means disposed between the moving means and the base and connected to the snack box; and

a control means configured to control a snack in the snack box to be discharged to an outside through the discharge hole;

wherein the first driving means drives the moving means to move the training robot and the second driving means rotates the snack box; and

the training robot further comprises a posture detection sensor configured to sense a posture of the training robot;

the control means is configured to control the training robot to maintain a normal posture based on a detection signal received from the posture detection sensor and then control the snack box to rotate such that the snack in the snack box is discharged to the outside through the discharge hole.

4. A training robot having a snack discharging function for health promotion of a pet the training robot comprising:

a moving means;

a base having an insertion groove into which a snack box comprising a discharge hole connected to an external space may be inserted;

a first driving means disposed between the moving means and the base and connected to the moving means;

a second driving means disposed between the moving means and the base and connected to the snack box; and

a control means configured to control a snack in the snack box to be discharged to an outside through the discharge hole;

wherein the first driving means drives the moving means to move the training robot and the second driving means rotates the snack box; and

the training robot further comprises an obstacle detection sensor capable of detecting surroundings of the training robot in real time,

the control means is configured to control the snack box to rotate such that the snack in the snack box is discharged through a discharge hole connected to the outside when the pet is determined to approach within a predetermined distance based on a signal received from the obstacle detection sensor.

5. A training robot having a snack discharging function for health promotion of a pet, the training robot comprising:

a moving means;

a base having an insertion groove into which a snack box comprising a discharge hole connected to an external space may be inserted;

a first driving means disposed between the moving means and the base and connected to the moving means;

a second driving means disposed between the moving means and the base and connected to the snack box; and

a control means configured to control a snack in the snack box to be discharged to an outside through the discharge hole;

wherein the first driving means drives the moving means to move the training robot and the second driving means rotates the snack box; and

the training robot further comprising:

a posture detection sensor configured to sense a posture of the training robot; and

an obstacle detection sensor capable of detecting surroundings of the training robot in real time;

the control means is configured to calculate a time for which the pet stays for each space based on signals received from the posture detection sensor and the obstacle detection sensor, and move the training robot to a space where the pet stays for a long time or a space where the pet does not frequently visit, and then control the snack box to rotate such that the snack in the snack box is discharged to the outside through the discharge hole.
