Abstract: The present invention relates to a tongue module for a robot which is installed in an android face robot formed to have a similar external appearance to a human face and to express feelings. The tongue module includes a tongue body made of composite silicon material and formed to have smooth texturing; a front and rear driving unit configured to move the tongue body in front and rear directions by using a crank arm and a first servo motor; an up and down driving unit configured to bend the tongue body in up and down directions by using wires and a second servo motor; and a linear rail assembly configured to move the tongue body in a straight line.

Abstract: An open distributed processing structured robot control software architecture is enclosed, which makes it possible to manufacture a user-oriented robot through combination of independent heterogeneous functional modules. The invention involves an open software framework for integrated operation and production of distributed software of the modules, and an autonomous robot control architecture suitable for distributed environments. The software framework indicates underlying software components for robot control and service creation. The invention makes it possible to mass-produce autonomous robots in units of interoperable functional modules. It is also possible to meet various demands of consumers, achieve specialization, and accelerate technology development since the development procedures are specialized in an independent manner and are suitable for manufacturing a wide variety of robot products in small quantities.

Abstract: A distributed software integration service method for open robot development based on the Internet is disclosed, which makes it possible to manufacture a user-oriented robot through combination of independent heterogeneous modules. The invention involves a robot development procedure and a new robot development environment/tool for providing user-oriented services and for integrated operating of distributed software installed in the modules over the Internet. The robot development procedure includes three independent specialized development stages, i.e., a platform development stage, a module development stage, and a user-oriented robot development/user service development stage. The invention makes it possible to mass-produce autonomous robots in units of interoperable functional modules.
