[0021] The present invention relates to a grooming assistive device that assists a user in grooming hair of an individual in accordance to a user-desired type of hair cut in an automated manner, thereby reducing physical efforts as well as saving time of the user.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1, a perspective view of a grooming assistive device is illustrated, comprising a platform 101 positioned over a ground surface by means of plurality of motorized omnidirectional wheels 102, a vertical hydraulic shaft 103 is installed over the body and configured with a seat 104, an artificial intelligence based imaging unit 105 installed over the platform 101, a ring 106 configured with the shaft 103 by means of plurality of links, a motorized sliding unit 108 is installed over outer periphery of the ring 106 and configured with a stool 109, a L-shaped hydraulic link 107 installed between the stool 109 and sliding unit 108, a microphone 110 installed over the platform 101, a multi-sectioned chamber 111 arranged over the platform 101 and stored with plurality of grooming tools of various types, a robotic gripper 112 installed over the platform 101, a pair of curved extendable plates 113 installed with the seat 104 each by means of a motorized pin joint 115, a speaker 114 installed over the platform 101, a motorized hinge joint 116 installed in the seat 104, a touch interactive display panel 117 installed over the seat 104, a projection unit 118 arranged on the platform 101, a UV (Ultra-Violet) light 119 installed over the seat 104 and stool 109, and plurality of LED lights 120 installed over the platform 101.

[0023] The device disclosed herein includes a platform 101 that is developed to be positioned over a ground surface by means of plurality of motorized omnidirectional wheels 102. A vertical hydraulic shaft 103 is installed over the body and configured with a seat 104 that enables an individual to sit for getting groomed.

[0024] Upon siting of the user on the seat 104, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 105 installed over the platform 101 is activated by an inbuilt microcontroller embedded within the platform 101 for capturing 106 multiple images of the individual on the seat 104. The imaging unit 105 comprises of an image capturing 106 arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images of the surroundings around the individual, and the captured images are stored within memory of the imaging unit 105 in form of an optical data. The imaging unit 105 also comprises of a processor that is integrated with artificial intelligence protocols, such that the processor processes the optical data and extracts the required data from the captured images. The extracted data is further converted into digital pulses and bits and are further transmitted to the microcontroller. The microcontroller processes the received data and determines height and width of the individual.

[0025] The microcontroller, mentioned herein, is preferably an Arduino microcontroller. The Arduino microcontroller used herein controls the overall functionality of the components linked to it. The Arduino microcontroller is an open-source programming platform 101. The microcontroller receives the data from various electronic units and generates a command signal for further processing.

[0026] Based on the determined height and width of the individual, the microcontroller actuates the shaft 103 to extend and retract in a manner to regulate height of the seat 104 in accordance with the detected height. The extension/retraction of the shaft 103 is powered pneumatically by the microcontroller by employing a pneumatic unit associated with the platform 101, including an air compressor, air cylinders, air valves and piston which works in collaboration to aid in extension and retraction of the shaft 103.

[0027] The pneumatic unit is operated by the microcontroller, such that the microcontroller actuates valve to allow passage of compressed air from the compressor within the cylinder, the compressed air further develops pressure against the piston and results in pushing and extending the piston. The piston is connected with the shaft 103 and due to applied pressure the shaft 103 extends and similarly, the microcontroller retracts the telescopically operated shaft 103 by closing the valve resulting in retraction of the piston. Thus, the microcontroller regulates the extension/retraction of the shaft 103 in order to regulate height of the seat 104 in accordance with the detected height.

[0028] A motorized drawer arrangement installed in the seat 104 provides extension and retraction to the seat 104 in accordance with the detected width of the individual. The drawer arrangement consists of multiple plates 113 that are overlapped to each other with a sliding unit 108, wherein upon actuation of the drawer arrangement by the microcontroller, the motor in the sliding unit 108 starts rotating a wheels 102 coupled via a shaft 103 in clockwise/anticlockwise direction providing a movement to the slider in the drawer arrangement to extend/ retract the seat 104 in accordance with the detected width of the individual.

[0029] Further, a ring 106 is configured with the shaft 103 by means of plurality of links, wherein a motorized sliding unit 108 is installed over outer periphery of the ring 106 and configured with a stool 109. The stool 109 is accessed by a user to sit for conducting grooming of the individual. The seat 104 and stool 109 is layered with a cushioned member to provide comfort to the individual and user while sitting over the seat 104 and stool 109, respectively.

[0030] Upon adjusting height of the seat 104 in accordance to the detected height of the individual, a laser sensor installed over the platform 101 monitor dimensions of the user in sync with the imaging unit 105. The laser sensor consists of an emitter and receiver, and works on the principle of measuring 106 the time delay between the laser beam to travel to the user and back. The sensor emits a light towards the user and when the laser beam hits the user, the beam reflects back towards the receiver of the sensor. Upon detection of reflected beam by the sensor, the sensor precisely measures the time taken for the laser beam to travel to and back from the user. The sensor calculates the dimensions of the user and the calculated dimensions of the user is then converted into electrical signal, in the form of current, and send to the microcontroller. Upon receiving the signals, the microcontroller processes the signal to determine dimensions of the user.

[0031] Based on the determined dimensions, the microcontroller actuates a L-shaped hydraulic link 107 installed between the stool 109 and sliding unit 108 to extend and retract in a manner to position the user at appropriate height. The L-shaped hydraulic link 107 is powered by a hydraulic unit consisting of a hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic compressor, hydraulic valve and piston that work in collaboration for providing the required extension/retraction to the link 107. The microcontroller actuates the valve to allow passage of hydraulic fluid from the compressor within the cylinder, the hydraulic fluid further develops pressure against the piston and results in pushing and extending the piston. The piston is connected with the link 107 and due to applied pressure, the link 107 extends and similarly, the microcontroller retracts the link 107 by closing the valve resulting in retraction of the piston. The microcontroller regulates the extension/retraction of the link 107 to position the user at appropriate height.

[0032] A weight sensor installed over each of the seat 104 and stool 109 monitors weight of the individual and user. The weight sensor comprises of a convoluted diaphragm and a sensing module. Due to the weight of individual and user over of the seat 104 and stool 109, the size of the diaphragm changes which is detected by the sensing module. The sensing module detects the weight of the individual and user and on the basis of the changes in sizes of the diaphragm, the acquired data is forwarded to the microcontroller in the form of a signal.

[0033] The microcontroller processes the signal to determine weight of individual and user over of the seat 104 and stool 109. The determined weight of individual and user over of the seat 104 and stool 109 is further processes by the microcontroller to compare the determined value to a threshold value stored within a database linked to the microcontroller. In case the monitored weight exceeds the threshold value, the microcontroller actuates a speaker 114 installed over the platform 101 to produce a voice command to notify the user regarding the detected exceeded weight.

[0034] The speaker 114 works by receiving signals from the microcontroller, converting them into sound waves through a diaphragm's vibration, and producing audible sounds with the help of amplification and control circuitry in order to notify the regarding the detected exceeded weight.

[0035] Further, a microphone 110 installed over the platform 101 enables the user to input voice command regrading positioning of the stool 109 at appropriate location around the seat 104. The microphone 110 contains a small diaphragm connected to a moving coil. When sound waves of the user hit the diaphragm, the coil vibrates. This causes the coil to move back and forth in the magnet's field, generating an electrical current. The signal of which are sent to the microcontroller for processing the input voice command of the user regarding positioning of the stool 109 at appropriate location around the seat 104.

[0036] Based on the input command of the user, the microcontroller actuates the sliding unit 108 to provide translation to the stool 109 around the shaft 103 in order to position the stool 109 at user-specified location. The sliding unit 108 consists of a pair of sliding rails fabricated with grooves in which the wheels 102 of a slider is positioned that is further connected with a bi-directional motor via a shaft 103. The microcontroller actuates the bi-directional motor to rotate in a clockwise and anti-clockwise direction that aids in the rotation of the shaft 103, wherein the shaft 103 converts the electrical energy into rotational energy for allowing movement of the wheels 102 to translate over the sliding rail by a firm grip on the grooves. The movement of the sliding unit 108 results in the translation of the stool 109 around the shaft 103 in order to position the stool 109 at user-specified location.

[0037] Further, a multi-sectioned chamber 111 is arranged over the platform 101 and stored with plurality of grooming tools of various types. In case the user by means of the microphone 110 provides input voice command regrading requirement of a specific tool. Based on the input command from the user, the microcontroller by means of the imaging unit 105 determines location of the user-specified tool in the chamber 111.

[0038] Based on the determined location of the user-specified tool, the microcontroller actuates a robotic gripper 112 installed over the platform 101 to withdraw the user-specified tool. The robotic arm comprises of a robotic link 107 and a clamp attached to the link. The robotic link 107 is made of several segments that are attached together by joints also referred to as axes. Each joint of the segments contains a step motor that rotates and allows the robotic link 107 to complete a specific motion of the arm. Upon actuation of the robotic arm by the microcontroller, the motor drives the movement of the clamp to withdraw the user-specified tool and provide to the user.

[0039] Furthermore, during 106 grooming of the individual, a pair of curved extendable plates 113 installed with the seat 104 each by means of a motorized pin joint 115 are actuated by the microcontroller to orient the plates 113 in front and back portion of the individual in view of collected waste generated during 106 grooming of the individual. The pin joint 115 comprises of a pin incorporated within a bearing 106 and coupled to a DC motor via a shaft 103 to provide required movement to the pin joint 115. The rotation of the shaft 103 in clockwise and anti-clockwise aids in opening and closing of the pin joint 115 respectively. Hence the microcontroller actuates the pin joint 115 that in turn provides movement to the plates 113 in front and back portion of the individual in view of collected waste generated during 106 grooming of the individual.

[0040] In case, the user input voice command via the microphone 110 regrading tilting of backrest of the seat 104 a specific angle, the microcontroller actuates a motorized hinge joint 116 installed in the seat 104 to provide rotation to the backrest in order to position the backrest at the user-specified angle. The motorized hinge joint 116 comprises of a pair of leaf that is screwed with the surfaces of the seat 104. The leaf are connected with each other by means of a cylindrical member integrated with a shaft 103 coupled with a DC (Direct Current) motor to provide required movement to the hinge. The rotation of the shaft 103 in clockwise and anti-clockwise aids in opening and closing of the hinge respectively. Hence the microcontroller actuates the hinge that in turn provides movement to the seat 104 to provide rotation to the backrest in order to position the backrest at the user-specified angle.

[0041] Furthermore, a touch interactive display panel 117 installed over the seat 104 enables the individual to select a specific type of haircut/beard cut in which the individual's hairs are to be cut. The touch interactive display panel 117 as mentioned herein is typically an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen that presents output in a visible form. The screen is equipped with touch-sensitive technology, allowing the user to interact directly with the display using their fingers. A touch controller IC (Integrated Circuit) is responsible for processing the analog signals generated when the user inputs details regarding specific type of haircut/beard cut in which the individual's hairs are to be cut. A touch controller is typically connected to the inbuilt microcontroller through various interfaces which may include but are not limited to SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) or I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit).

[0042] Based on the input command from the individual, the microcontroller actuates a projection unit 118 to project laser light over the individual's hairs to guide the user while cutting the hairs. The projection unit 118 consists of a laser source, collimator, collimating lens and a wedge-shaped lens. The laser source generates a laser light beam which passes through a collimator that focus the laser light beam to a focal point. The laser light beam is received by the collimating lens that further collimate the laser light beam beyond the focal point. The laser light is then focused to a wedge-shaped lens having an aperture interposed between the focusing lens and collimating lens. The aperture has a size for passing the laser light beam through mirrors of the projection unit 118 and projects a high-quality laser beam projections on the individual's hairs. Thus, the projection of laser light beam on the individual's hairs assists the user while cutting the hairs of the individual.

[0043] Furthermore, after every use of the seat 104 and the stool 109, a UV (Ultra-Violet) light 119 installed over the seat 104 and stool 109 is actuated by the microcontroller to emit UV light over the seat 104 and stool 109 in order to disinfect the seat 104 and stool 109 after every use. The UV light 119 is effective against all pathogens, bacteria, molds, yeasts, etc. The ultraviolet light 119 emitted by the lamp breaks down the chemical bonds, thus, scrambling the structure of DNA, RNA and proteins, which kills the microorganisms in order to disinfect the seat 104 and stool 109 after every use.

[0044] Additionally, a LDR sensor is installed over the platform 101 monitors light intensity in surrounding of the platform 101. The LDR sensor comprises of a photodiode, wherein the photodiode is capable of measuring 106 intensity of illuminance when beam of light in surrounding of the platform 101 strikes the photodiode, then the photodiode has a tendency to loosen electrons causing an electric current to flow. More the intensity of light, stronger is the electric current generated by the sensor which is further transmitted to the microcontroller. The LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) sensor sends the acquired data to the microcontroller then the microcontroller analyses the received data to determine light intensity in surrounding of the platform 101. The determined light intensity in surrounding of the platform 101 is further processes by the microcontroller to compare the determined value to a threshold limit stored within the database. In case the monitored light intensity recedes the threshold limit, the microcontroller actuates plurality of LED lights 120 installed over the platform 101 to emit light in the surroundings to maintain appropriate visibility.

[0045] The LED lights 120 is a two-lead semiconductor light source also known as p-n junction which produce the lighting when constant voltage is supplied across the diode. When the voltage is supplied across the diode, the electrons recombine with the electrons hole in the diode which result in conversion of electron into photons which is another form of light to maintain appropriate visibility.

[0046] Lastly, a battery is installed within the device which is connected to the microcontroller that supplies current to all the electrically powered components that needs an amount of electric power to perform their functions and operation in an efficient manner. The battery utilized here, is generally a dry battery which is made up of Lithium-ion material that gives the device a long-lasting as well as an efficient DC (Direct Current) current which helps every component to function properly in an efficient manner. As the device is battery operated and do not need any electrical voltage for functioning. Hence the presence of battery leads to the portability of the device i.e., user is able to place as well as moves the device from one place to another as per the requirements.
