ROBOTIC EAGLES AND BIRD-LIKE ROBOT WITH EMBODIED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Smart overview of the Invention

A robotic eagle and bird-like robot, enhanced with generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI), are designed for autonomous tasks such as airport safety and forest fire monitoring. These robots replicate the appearance and flight capabilities of real birds, featuring components like a head, multiple eyes, wings, legs, claws, and a tail. The AI model functions as the "brain," processing environmental data from video cameras, microphones, and flight sensors to guide flying motions. A wireless battery charging system ensures continuous operation, utilizing solar and wind energy for autonomous recharging.

Key Components and Features

The bird-like robots consist of several vital components:

• Head: Houses sensory equipment like cameras and microphones for navigation and environmental awareness.
• Body: Supports and connects components, containing computational units and power supply.
• Wings: Replicate bird wings' flapping and gliding, with actuators and sensors for flight control.
• Tail: Provides flight stability and maneuverability.
• Legs and Claws: Enable perching, walking, and object grasping with precise movement.
• Feathers: Enhance aerodynamics and mimic real birds' appearance.
• Actuators and Sensors: Drive movements and gather environmental and positional data.
• Control Systems: Process sensor data and control actuators, with AI for learning and adaptation.
• Power Supply: Includes solar panels and batteries with wireless charging capability.
• Communication Interfaces: Facilitate interaction with systems and humans for control and monitoring.

Applications and Capabilities

These bird-like robots, enabled by embodied AI, can perform a variety of tasks. For instance, they can be deployed for airport safety by scaring away birds, reducing the risk of bird strikes. In forest fire monitoring, they can provide real-time data and alerts, enhancing early detection and response. The integration of large language models (LLM) and Gen-AI allows these robots to learn and adapt, making them useful in dynamic environments.
