Abstract: A method for controlling a robotic walking assistant that includes a wheeled base having one or more wheels, two handles and a foldable seat that are coupled to the wheeled base, includes: detecting whether two hands of a user have held the two handles of the robotic walking assistant; receiving a command from the user to select an operation mode in response to detection of the two hands holding the two handles; controlling the wheeled base to move in response to a walking assistive mode being selected; providing resistance to at least one of the one or more wheels according to selection of the user, in response to a walking training mode being selected; and locking the one or more wheels in response to a static training mode being selected.

Abstract: A robotic assistant includes a wheeled base, a body positioned on the base, a foldable seat rotatably connected to the body, an actuator to rotate the foldable seat with respect to the body, and a control system that receives command instructions. The actuator is electrically coupled to the control system. In response to the command instructions, the control system is to control the actuator to rotate the foldable seat to a folded position or an unfolded position. The control system is further to detect whether an external force from a user has applied to the foldable seat, and release the actuator to allow the foldable seat to be manually rotated.

Abstract: An apparatus is used for cleaning and drying applicator tools, such as brushes, cosmetic applicators, or cosmetic tools. The apparatus according to various embodiments includes an applicator tool holder configured to hold multiple applicators of various sizes with the applicator heads facing down. The applicator tool cleaning apparatus has a cleaning chamber that can dispense liquid to saturate the applicator heads and contact the applicator heads with a textured surface to dislodge collected materials on the applicator heads and a drying chamber where drying mechanisms blow air or dissipate heat at the applicator heads until dried. The applicator tool holder may be moved vertically between the cleaning chamber and the drying chamber via a motor and drive mechanism. Alternatively, the applicator tool holder may be flipped such that the applicator heads are facing upwards and aligned with the drying mechanisms.
