Claims
Earthquakes produce a devastating effect and they see no difference between human and material. Hence a lot of times humans
are buried among the debris and it became impossible to detect them. A timely rescue can only save the people who are buried
and wounded. Detection by rescue workers becomes time consuming and due to the vast area that gets affected it becomes more
difficult. The present invention proposes an autonomous robotic vehicle that moves in the earthquake prone area and helps in
identifying the alive people and rescue operations.
We claim:
1. An autonomous robotic vehicle to identify presence of alive person buried in debris by a unique passive infrared sensor
(PIR) which emits infrared rays to detect humans.
2. The invention as claimed in claim 1, wherein, the thermal radiation emitted by the human body is received and manipulated
by the PIR sensor to detect the presence of alive humans and immediately provides audio and visual alerts to help locate the
person.
3. The invention as claimed in claim 2, wherein, the PIR sensor is placed on a moving all direction robot driven on a geared
DC motor for increased torque and low speed and stepper motor for increased turning accuracy and wherein a 3 wheel geared
drive with DC motors is attached to perform forward and reverse movement.
4. The invention as claimed in claim 2, wherein, the autonomous robotic vehicle comprises,
a) Embedded Microcontroller PIC (18LF45K22 I/P) / ARM,
b) Zigbee Transmitter and Receivers / RF Transceivers,
c) PIR Sensor,

Multi-purposed self-propelled device
Jan 5, 2011
Orbotix, Inc.
A multi-purposed self-propelled device is provided which includes a drive system, a spherical housing, a biasing mechanism, and a
payload space within the spherical housing. The biasing mechanism can include single extended spring to engage an inner surface
of the spherical housing diametrically opposed to a contact surface engaged by the drive system. Alternatively, the biasing
mechanism can include one or more (e.g., a pair) of portal axles each having a spring and contact element to push against a
respective contact point in the inner surface of the spherical housing. As such, the portal axles can produce a vertical force that
similarly actively forces the drive system to continuously engage the inner surface of the spherical housing in order to cause the
spherical housing to move. The self-propelled device can be implemented to carry a payload or multiple payloads for various uses
and activities.
The payload space can be utilized to carry any payload. For example, the payload can include a camera, which can send images
and/or a video stream from the self-propelled device to a controller device. The controller device can be in the form of a
smartphone, tablet, or any other suitable operating device. Further, the spherical housing can be transparent to allow the camera to
take images or real time video, thereby allowing a user of the controller device (e.g. smartphone) to control the self-propelled

Claims
Furthermore, the method can include determining a position of the location point in the field of view based on a first reference
frame of the field of view as displayed on the controller device, and mapping the position of the location point on a second
reference frame corresponding to the location point relative to the self-propelled device. In such arrangements, the command signal
is generated to include instructions for maneuvering the self-propelled device based solely on the second reference frame. Further
still, for live video feed implementations, the controller device can generate the command signal dynamically in conjunction with
receiving the live video feed.
1. A self-propelled device comprising:
a spherical housing;
a drive system disposed within the spherical housing, the drive system to power one or more wheels;
a carrier mounted atop the drive system, the carrier having a top surface corresponding to a floor of a payload space within the
spherical housing; and
a biasing mechanism coupled to the carrier, the biasing mechanism to actively force the one or more wheels to continuously engage
an inner surface of the spherical housing in order to cause the spherical housing to move.
2. The self-propelled device of claim 1, further comprising a protective cover encasing the spherical housing, the protective cover
