  • Patent number: 11465274
    Abstract: A module type home robot is provided. The module type home robot includes a device module coupling unit coupled to a device module, an input unit receiving a user input, an output unit outputting voice and images, a sensing unit sensing a user, and a control unit sensing a trigger signal, activating the device module or the output unit according to the sensed trigger signal, and controlling the module type home robot to perform an operation mapped to the sensed trigger signal. The trigger signal is a user proximity signal, a user voice signal, a user movement signal, a specific time sensing signal or an environment change sensing signal.

  • Publication number: 20200009721
    Abstract: A robot according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include: a base; a case that is disposed over the base and has an internal space; a front cover that covers the internal space ahead of the case; a projector that is positioned in the internal space, is disposed to face a forward upper side, and projects an image or a video to the front cover; and a built-in component that is disposed ahead of the projector. The front cover may include: a display region in which an image or a video projected from the projector is displayed; and a non-display region that is positioned under the display region and overlaps the built-in component in a front-rear direction.
