DESCRIPTION
Technical Field: This disclosure relates generally to use Robotic Arm with Artificial Intelligence (Al) Technology in Lavatory.
Background on Human Support Part: It is true that the entire world has somehow ignored the pathetic situation of Senior People, Physically, Mentally and Medically Challenged People to perform their morning activities in Toilet without the help of others. It is also true that the entire world has ignored to think about the situation and suffering of people who lost their limbs in sports & accidents and even their wish to have a privacy in toilet without the help of others. Senior Citizens are sadly moving from their own beautiful houses which had been their nests, to Care Homes when they are unable to do their morning jobs in toilet without others' support. The piteous fact is that the entire world has failed to realize the fatigue and stress of care givers and housekeeping staffs to maintain the Toilet hygiene with high standard and expectations.
Background Toilet Hygiene Part: Honestly, its fair to admit that everyone of us would have encountered at least one bad experience in toilet after seeing its condition in one of the Public Buildings, Shopping Malls, Sports & Entertainment Buildings, Airport Complexes or in Tourist Attractions. This listing includes Cruise Ships, Trains and Flights. We are educating people to wash hand with Soap and Sanitizing after using the Rest Rooms every time but ignoring the Toilet Seat Cover without Cleaning and Disinfecting it, to give a fresh start to the next users. There can be plenty of bugs queuing up in public restrooms, which includes both familiar and unfamiliar culprits like streptococcus, staphylococcus, E-coli and shigella bacteria, hepatitis A virus, the common cold virus, and various sexually transmitted organisms.
The world population is getting older and older. The younger generations are actively living in a gadget world without sports and exercise. Medical world is expanding the life span of people but failed to ease their pain. People are getting more obese and unable to touch even their toes now a days. Therefore, it is the right time to think to meet their needs for tomorrow in Toilets.
Detailed Description of Invention:
Robotic Arm for Anal & Genital Washing / Cleaning and other Support Functions in Toilet, is intent to provide various human support implementations as follows: to wear and remove disposable hand gloves by itself, to hold water spray gun and clean anal and genital areas in water closet and bidet, to hold toilet paper towel and wet wipes to clean anal and genital areas, to hold and to soap and bath the human body with water shower sprayer, to press the push button of toilet flushing cistern, to clean water closet for additional cleanliness, to hold disinfectant wipes to clean water closet seat after use, to open/close toilet seat cover, to perform wet floor cleaning using floor cleaner / scrubber / mop, to lock and unlock the toilet door, to alert medical team/care giver during emergency, to hold electric hair trimmer / shaving machine and to shave armpit and pubic area,_to feedback stock level of consumable items such as toilet paper towel, dry and wet wipes, disinfectant etc.
The Invention uses one or multiple Robotic Arms with human like-hand with Artificial Intelligence Technology (Al) and Sensors to perform all senses like seeing, speaking, hearing, moving, feeling, connecting and thinking.
