Track Spiders Robotic System

Abstract

The present invention relates to one or more Track Spider robots moving on an overhead track in a non-industrial environment like home, patient care, shopping places or pharmacies. The system can be wirelessly controlled using a computer, a hand held remote or voice commands. The purpose of this invention is to free up the ground space and move unobstructed overhead even in cramped spaces. Depending on the attachments available on the Track Spider robots, each can be configured to perform independent tasks in confined spaces. It can be used to fetch or deliver objects using object identification techniques, or to carry loads from one point to another, to deliver medicines or instructions in a patient care environment, as a store assistant or as a roving security camera, to name a few uses.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A Track Spiders robotic system comprising of one or plurality of Track Spider robots, an overhead Track System for movement, a drive assembly for each Track Spider robot and consisting of two grooved wheels, a Control Section, an electric, hydraulic or pneumatic telescopic arm to raise or lower the Spider Section which consists of an instrument panel, robotic arms and a storage area, such that the Master Control System can be used to move the Spider Section to any point in space under the track and perform an action around that point in space.  
     
     
         2 . The Track Spiders robotic system according to  claim 1 , which can be used in a non-industrial environments like shops, pharmacies, homes and patient care environments.  
     
     
         3 . The Track Spiders robotic system according to  claim 1 , wherein the tracks information is used to inform each Track Spider robot about the location identification, geographical direction of that section of the track, permissible speed limits for the robots, inclination angle of the track and information about any task a robot should perform when passing over a point on the track.  
     
     
         4 . The Track Spiders robotic system according to  claim 1 , wherein the tracks can cross each other such that each robot can move from one track to another.  
     
     
         5 . The present invention may be shaped or constructed in other specific forms without departing from the true scope of the invention. The described shape is to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive.
