This application is a continuation application of International Patent Application No. PCT/KR2009/004706, filed on Aug. 24, 2009, which claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2008-0082618, filed on Aug. 23, 2008, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire disclosure of each of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
The following description relates to a large rideable bipedal walking robot that a human can directly board and ride and that can be utilized as an amusement park ride like a roller coaster, and an amusement park system using the large rideable bipedal walking robot.
With the rapid advancement of computers, artificial intelligence technologies and control engineering have been developed to allow bipedal walking robots to gently walk and move. Especially, a humanoid robot like “Asimo” made by Honda in Japan can run, and a robot like “Hubo” made by Kaist in Korea can walk and move naturally.
As the robot technologies are generalized, further, robot kits with which bipedal walking robots are easily assembled and made like Lego blocks are supplied to general people and students. Also, various bipedal walking robot battle contests have been opened popularily.
Actually, however, the bipedal walking robots have been developed just as helpers that provide the conveniences in everyday life, that is, clean the house or carry coffee, so that the heights of the robots are less than 1M like a robot vacuum cleaner and the heights of the humanoid robots like “Asimo” and “Hubo” are less than 1.5 m to 2 m. Accordingly, the bipedal walking robots cannot be ridden and moved directly by the manipulation of the human like automobiles, trucks, fork cranes and so on.
In the meantime, large-sized humanoid bipedal walking robots like “Robot Taekwon V” and “Mazinger Z” appearing in SF movies or comic books have been not studied and developed at all up to now. The large bipedal walking robots have relatively low efficiencies in their movement and power when compared with four legs walking robots or large robots with wheels like a tank, providing a low degree of practicability. As a result, many studies on the large bipedal walking robots have been not proposed.
However, such four legs walking robots or large robots with wheels look less friendly to humans when compared with the humanoid robots appearing in movies.

As shown in FIG. 1, a large rideable bipedal walking robot 1 of the invention includes two leg links 5, an upper body 4 disposed on the top sides of the two leg links 5, a head 2 disposed on the top side of the upper body 4, and two arm links 3 connected to both sides of the upper body 4. The head 2 has two headlights 10 and a speaker 11 mounted thereon. In the interior of the upper body 4 are provided a control unit like a computer, a motor (driving source) activating the links 3 and 5 of the robot 1, and an engine source (such as an engine, batteries, power supply equipment and so on), which are not shown in the drawings. Also, the robot 1 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 has a cover mounted thereon so as to protect the internal structure thereof.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the head 2 has a safety cable connector 6 adapted to connect a safety cable thereto and a head connector 7 adapted to connect a roller coaster thereto, and the upper body 4 has an upper body connector 8 adapted to connect the roller coaster thereto.
The walking technology of the robot 1 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is adopted from that of the humanoid robots conventionally known. For example, it can be adopted freely from the walking technologies of the Honda robot “Asimo”, Kaist robot “Hubo”, and various humanoid robots appearing in robot game contests.
Further, an explanation on the energy source and power housed in the upper body 4 of the robot 1 will be given.
The power of the large bipedal walking robot includes the energy sources used for existing large fork cranes, cranes and industrial robots. For instance, the power is utilized with oil energy like gas and diesel, fuel cells, electricity and so on, and further, it is utilized with hybrid energy. In the meantime, so as to convert the energy of the robot 1 into energy to move the arms, legs, head, and upper body, an electric motor, a hydraulic pump, a hydraulic motor, an actuator, and a hydraulic cylinder are utilized.
Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, an explanation on the coupling structure between the robot 1 and the boarding vehicle 20 will be given.
As shown, the boarding vehicle 20 has a front insertion protrusion 22 formed at the front surface thereof in such a manner as to be inserted into a front insertion groove 23 formed on the head 2 of the robot 1.
Also, the boarding vehicle 20 has a back insertion groove connector 24 mounted at the back surface thereof, and the head 2 of the robot 1 has a back insertion groove 26 formed thereon, such that the back insertion groove connector 24 and the back insertion groove 26 are fixed to each other by means of a back insertion screw 25, allowing the boarding vehicle 20 to be rigidly fixed to the head 2 of the robot 1.
Additionally, the boarding vehicle 20 is provided with a rotatable safety leg bar 21 so as to allow the riders to board the boarding vehicle safely.
Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the head 2 of the robot 1 has an entrance door 9 formed to be opened and closed at the back surface thereof, through which the boarding vehicle 20 goes and comes.
Of course, if the inside (of the head 2) of the robot 1 has a boarding space, seats and safety belts formed therein under the circumstances, it is possible to allow riders to directly board the boarding space of the robot 1, without using the boarding vehicle 20.
If the boarding vehicle 20 is coupled to the head 2 of the robot 1 or if the riders directly board the robot 1, the robot 1 is moved under the manipulation of a pilot of the robot 1. Of course, the robot 1 walks and moves by himself by utilizing his artificial intelligence or is controlled remotely in his movement. As the robot 1 walks, the riders can obtain new experiences, while seeing surrounding views, and when the robot 1 takes dynamic action of running or jumping, they can enjoy very exciting experiences.
Referring next to FIG. 6, an explanation on the robot utilized as an amusement park ride will be given.
As shown, a variety of amusement park instruments are installed around the robot 1. For example, there is provided an amusement park system including a robot walking road 100 along which the robot 1 walks or runs, a robot free riding section 150 in which the robot 1 dances or takes various action, a roller coaster 200 to which the robot 1 is connected and flies, a tunnel 300 for theme parks adapted to provide a variety of theme experiences to the riders, and a boarding area and an elevator 101 connected to the boarding area.
Referring to FIG. 7, an example of a boarding area prepared for the robot boarding of the pilot (or a steward) and riders is described.
The elevator 101 for the boarding area has a lower entrance door 102 and an upper entrance door 103 to permit people to reach easily the head 2 of the robot 1. After their arrival, they enter the head 2 of the robot 1 by using the boarding vehicle 20 or directly board the boarding space formed in the head 2 of the robot 1.
Referring next to FIGS. 8 and 9, a system allowing the robot 1 to walk and operate safely will be described.
As noted above, the walking technologies of the bipedal walking robot have been brilliantly developed. However, since safety should be most importantly observed in amusement parks, there is a definite need for the installation of a device for preventing safety accidents to occur. As shown in FIG. 8, the safety cable connector 6 is disposed on the back surface of the head 2 of the robot 1, to which a safety cable 502 is rigidly connected.
The safety cable 502 is connected to a safety rail moving wheel 512 by means of a safety cable rotary shaft 511 preventing the twisting of the safety cable 502. The safety rail moving wheel 512 is mounted at upper and lower rails 510A and 510B located on a safety rail part 500 and is moved naturally together with the movement of the robot 1. The safety rail part 500 is rigidly supported by means of safety rail support posts 501. The safety cable 502, which is made of a super strong material resisting the weight of the robot 1, is designed to such a length that it is possible to prevent the head 2 of the robot 1 from colliding directly against the ground. That is, even though the robot 1 loses his balance and falls down, the safety cable 502 serves to prevent the head 2 of the robot 1 from colliding directly against the ground, completely ensuring the safety of the riders.
Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, next, a method of allowing the robot 1 coupled to a roller coaster to be moved safely will be explained.
A roller coaster 200 is safely fixed by means of roller coaster support posts 201. The roller coaster 200 has a roller coaster moving vehicle 230 provided thereon in such a manner as to be ascended and descended by the movement of roller coaster wheels 231 along roller coaster rails 233, providing various riding. The roller coaster moving vehicle 230 has connection arm connectors 234 mounted at the lower end portion thereof in such a manner as to allow head and body connection arms 210 and 220 to be located thereon, and thus, the robot 1 is connected to the head and body connection arms 210 and 220 of the roller coaster 200, as shown in FIG. 10.
The head connection arm 210 is coupled to the head connector 7 of the robot 1 by means of a head connection arm fixing protrusion 211 and a head connection arm fixing nut 212. The body connection arm 220 is coupled to the upper body connector 8 disposed on the back surface of the upper body 4 of the robot 1 by means of a body connection arm fixing protrusion 221 and a body connection arm fixing nut 222. The robot 1 is coupled to the roller coaster 200 by means of the head connection arm 210 and the body connection arm 210, and thus, as the roller coaster moving vehicle 230 is moved, the robot 1 can fly in the sky, providing exciting and safe flying to the riders.
Also, the roller coaster 200 has the safety rail part 500 mounted thereon so as to provide another safety device for preventing safety accidents to occur.
As shown in FIG. 11, the safety rail part 500 is mounted along the lower portion of the roller coaster 200 and has the safety rail moving wheel 512 mounted at the inside thereof in such a manner as to be moved along the upper and lower safety rails 510A and 510B thereof, the safety rail moving wheel 512 being connected to the robot 1 by means of the safety cable 502.
Further, the coupling process of the robot 1 to the roller coaster 200 is carried out by directly connecting the head connection arm 210 and the body connection arm 220 to the head connector 7 and the upper body connector 8 by means of the arms and hands of the robot 1 utilizing his artificial intelligence, and alternatively, the coupling process can be carried out in a manually operating manner for the safety thereof. At this time, a safety supervisor should check or approve whether the connection is safely achieved.
Referring to FIG. 12, next, an explanation on the experiences of the riders as the robot 1 is passed through the tunnel 300 for theme parks will be given.
Of course, the safety rail part 500 is installed along the tunnel 300 for theme parks so as to allow the robot 1 to walk and move safely. If a villain robot 310 that stands by or is installed in the tunnel 300 appears and takes action to threaten the robot 1, the robot 1 takes action to threat the robot 1, the robot 1 takes action to emit virtual laser to the villain robot 310 or hit him with his fist so as to drive the villain robot 310 away in accordance with control programs previously inputted. At this time, if a variety of sound effects, illumination facilities, and video play are provided in the tunnel 300, more exciting experiences can be provided to the riders.
Referring next to FIGS. 13 to 15, a method for coupling the robot 1 to a safety vehicle 30, not to the safety cable 500 will be described.
The robot 1 has a safety vehicle connector 12 disposed on the body thereof, to which a part of heavy equipment such as a fork crane is connected. Since this is well known in the art, and the detailed description is avoided.
The safety vehicle 30 is coupled to the robot 1 at the back of the robot, and even though the robot 1 loses his balance, the safety vehicle 30 serves to prevent the robot 1 from falling down. In one example, further, the installation of the safety rail part 500 is not needed, reducing the installation cost.
As shown in FIG. 16, next, the height of the robot 1 is varied in accordance with the tendency and ages of the riders boarding the robot 1.
That is, in an example of the robot being used for children, it may have a height in a range of 1.5 m to 3 m, so that they can enjoy riding without a mental burden and the riding for one child is possible.
In an example of the robot being used for family members, e.g., including children, adults and old people, it may have a height in a range of 3 m to 7 m is provided, such that the entire family may enjoy riding.
In an example of the robot being used for adults, being older than middle school students (e.g., older than 14), it may have a height in a range of 7 m to 15 m, such that they can enjoy riding with more excitement and thrill. Also, in an example of the robot being used for adults having extreme interests in robots or more experience riding such robots, it may have a height greater than 15 m, such that they can enjoy riding with extreme excitement and thrill.
As mentioned above, the degrees of thrill and excitement may be varied in accordance with the heights of the robots and boarding spaces.
Referring next to FIG. 17, a method for coupling the robot 1 to the safety vehicle located on underground rails will be described. In this method, the safety cable or the safety vehicle helping the safe bipedal walking of the robot 1 is located under the ground, and it is not exposed to the outside, enhancing the visual effects.
As shown in FIG. 18, next, the seats for riders are additionally provided into the body of the robot 1, especially, into the front portion of the chest, increasing the number of riders for the robot 1.
Next, FIG. 19 is an air view showing an example wherein the robot 1 is coupled to the safety vehicle.
