  • Publication number: 20200005787
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a guide robot and a method of operating the same. A guide robot according to the present disclosure includes a voice receiving unit to receive a voice, a controller to determine whether the received voice includes a preset wake-up word, and a wireless communication unit to perform communication with an artificial intelligence (AI) server set to be activated by the preset wake-up word. At this time, the control unit transmits the received voice to the artificial intelligence server, receives result information from the artificial intelligence server, and outputs the received result information, when the received voice includes the preset wake-up word. And, the control unit outputs a response voice selected according to a predetermined reference when the received voice does not include the preset wake-up word.

  • Publication number: 20190392833
    Abstract: Provided are a method of associating an AI device with a device based on a behavior pattern of a user and a device therefor. The method of associating the AI device with the device according to an embodiment of the invention receives a preset behavior pattern of the user sensed by a first camera from the first camera, receives a voice command for controlling an operation of the device from the user, and transmits the voice command to the device, thus allowing devices having no AI function to be used in conjunction with the AI device. The AI device and the dive of the invention may be associated with artificial intelligence modules, drones (unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)), robots, augmented reality (AR) devices, virtual reality (VR) devices, devices related to 5G service, etc.
