Today, it is undoubted that the current level of development of robotics allows not only to increase the comfort of modern life, but also to automate and robotize many types of activities that are critical to human health and safety. Numerous technical solutions are known, based on robotics and aimed at ensuring fire safety, remote monitoring of the situation at protected objects, medical operations that require high accuracy, and much more.

In one example, a two-module mobile robot is known in the art (RU172377, publication date: 07/06/2017), designed to inspect protected areas, stealth reconnaissance in difficult conditions, and, if necessary, destroy dangerous objects. The robot contains two hollow bodies, in each of which there is an energy source and a single-axis rotary mover. The cases are interconnected by means of a hinge with the possibility of rotation around a common geometric axis. The axis of rotation of the rotary propellers coincide with the common axis of rotation of both buildings.

In another example, a home network system using a self-propelled robot (RU2312579, publication date: 12/20/2007) is disclosed in the prior art.

Utility Model Implementation

This utility model is a mobile robotic device remotely controlled and designed to protect various types of objects, for example, residential premises, storage and production facilities.

The security robot is designed to detect violations of the conditions of stay in the room, to provide an alarm, including preventive, and non-traumatic effects on the intruder.

For the purposes of this application, a responsible person is understood to mean any person who is interested in using the security robot in practice within the protection object, for example, the owner of the premises, an authorized employee of the security service, the operator of the dispatch service, etc.

The object of protection for the purposes of this application is understood to be any premises or territory in the protection, protection or inspection of which the responsible person is interested, for example, a residential premises, a warehouse or industrial premises and / or the territory adjacent to such premises.

As shown in FIG. 1, the security robot contains a housing 1 in which non-traumatic protective equipment is placed. The aforementioned protective equipment can be placed in the housing 1 with the possibility of extension beyond the housing, for example, using retractable holders. The signaling mechanism 6 can be located on the back of the housing 1. The housing is mounted on a caterpillar link 2, providing sufficient patency for the security robot.

As shown in FIG. 2 non-traumatic protective equipment is under the control of the microcontroller 9. The aforementioned protective equipment is represented by a barrel with plastic bullets with gas filling 3, a wire stun gun 5, a cylinder with tear gas 8. Memory 10 contains programmed instructions during which the microcontroller 9 can actuate the protective equipment , and the conditions for notifying the person in charge of violation of the mode of stay of unauthorized persons at the protection object. Such a condition may be, for example, the presence of an unidentified person at the object of protection at a certain time (for example, evening, night, departure). The memory can be used as a hard disk HDD, SSD SSD, flash-memory.

Also, the memory 10 is intended for storing video recorded by the video camera 13. The video camera 13 is included in the robot in order to ensure, firstly, its controllability when transmitting video to external devices of computer technology, and secondly, to provide video recording of the situation at the protection object. Also, in order to ensure controllability, a GPS module was introduced into the robot, which determines the coordinates of the current position of the security robot.

Electronic control sensors, represented by a motion sensor 14 and an acoustic sensor 15, are configured to transmit data on the state of the external environment to the microcontroller 9. Based on such data, if the data indicate an unauthorized intrusion into the protected object, the microcontroller activates the signaling mechanism 6.

If the suspicious activity, for example, the actions of the violator, at least has not decreased, then the microcontroller 9 activates non-traumatic protective equipment.

The network interface 16 is designed to provide data exchange between the microcontroller and an external computer node. Such nodes can be the Smart Home system, a cloud infrastructure, the Internet, through which data, including video, can be transferred to a dispatching service console or a responsible person’s smartphone.

Security robot can be used as follows.

In case of violation of the conditions of stay at the guarded object (for example, when a protection person penetrates the object of protection while there is no responsible person in it), the acoustic sensor 15, which recognizes the sounds of breaking or broken glass, and the motion sensor 14 are triggered. which activates the video camera 13. The video camera 13 can record the incident in the memory of the robot 10, transfer video to the "cloud" storage, or stream video to an external computing device ics through a network interface 16. An external computer node may be, for example, a personal computer or a smartphone of a person in charge.

The notification of an outsider about the possibility of applying non-traumatic protective equipment to it can be carried out by means of a signaling mechanism 6 when playing a loud alarm, a siren, playing back the phrases “Leave the room”, etc. Alert can be carried out automatically when the microcontroller 9 receives data from electronic control sensors indicating suspicious activity in the room. Alert can also be carried out by the person in charge when remotely controlling the security robot.

After the triggering of the signaling mechanism 6, the security robot can actuate non-traumatic protective equipment, for example, spray a tear gas cylinder, fire plastic bullets with gas filling that is not hazardous to humans, and fire with a wire stun gun. The impact of non-traumatic protective equipment can be carried out aiming or whatever the target.

If necessary, the microcontroller 9 can transmit a signal to turn off the light in the room, block the room, if the security robot is integrated via a local area network into a system such as "Smart Home" or a similar control system.

According to a utility model, the security robot can be made in a case simulating a home appliance item, for example, a DVD player, or it can be made in a case with an original design, as shown in FIG. one.

Administrative support of the robot can be organized, for example, via the web interface when accessing the robot through the network interface 16 at the IP address in the local area network, or through the application on the smartphone of the person in charge.

It should also be noted that the controls of the security robot are not limited only to the named external devices of computer technology. It is worth noting that as such controls can be used such innovative devices as augmented reality tools, for example, virtual reality glasses, etc.

Thus, the application of this utility model allows us to solve the following practical problems:

- notification of the person in charge of the appearance of strangers at the facility;

- providing inspection of the object of protection by humans, carried out remotely;

- providing video recording of the situation at the object of protection, including the actions of an outsider, with the possibility of transferring video to an external data storage system, for example, to a "cloud" infrastructure;

- Interaction via digital communication channels with third-party computer equipment, including Smart Home systems, which allow receiving a control signal to deenergize the protected object, turn off the lights, block the room (if necessary);

- the operation of the alarm mechanism warning the intruder about the need to leave the room;

- Recognition of breaking sounds, broken glass;

- non-traumatic effect on the intruder.

The main advantage of this utility model in relation to the current level of technology is the controlled increase in the coverage area of non-traumatic home protection equipment depending on the activity of the intruder. The controlled increase in the coverage area is due to the fact that the security robot is mobile and remotely controlled. The choice of non-traumatic home protection equipment as the executive mechanism is due to the need to reduce the risk of possible legal consequences for the responsible person. At the same time, the actuation of home protective equipment can be carried out only if, after the warning signal has been triggered, the intruder continues to carry out actions (be active) that could cause property or other damage to property held by the responsible person.
