According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to a gesture and audio controlled human assistive robot configured to provide expressive, human-like interactions in public, commercial and service environments. The robot comprises a sensing unit for detecting human presence, a microcontroller-based control unit for processing sensing data, a display unit for rendering AI-generated facial expressions and greeting animations, a gesture actuation unit including servo motors and high-torque gear motors for performing arm and wrist movements, and an audio output unit for producing synchronized greeting audio. Upon detecting a human within a predefined threshold, the control unit initiates a coordinated interaction sequence involving displaying visual expressions, activating gesture movements and playing corresponding audio. The system may be powered through a portable power bank and may operate autonomously through continuous scanning and interaction cycles. The invention provides a cost-effective, modular, and expressive humanoid platform suitable for assistive, reception, educational and public-engagement applications."
