DEVICE FOR HORIZONTAL SURFACE CONTROLLED MOVEMENT OF SMARTPHONE Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC B25J5/00 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: device comprises a control unit located on a movable platform, two independent coaxial driving wheels, a retractable support, two electric motors, detection sensors of obstacle and surface edges, in particular a table, and an integrated power supply. In this case, the mobile platform is made in the form of a casing with a compartment for installing a smartphone, each wheel is rigidly fixed to the shaft of its electric motor, and on the other side motor feedback sensors are mounted on these shafts, both motors being reversible and made with the possibility of changing the speed of rotation. The bracing jack is made in the form of a rotary console, which allows the casing to be installed at an angle of 0 to 85° to the horizon and, together with the wheels, to provide a stable position when moving along the plane. The control unit is configured to collect and process data coming from the smartphone and from the detection sensors of obstacle and the surface edges, as well as for generating and transmitting control signals to the wheel electric motors and the bracing jack.

EFFECT: ensured movement of the device along a specified path for video communication.
