Abstract: A system for sensing and controlling eye contact for a robot. The system includes a robotic figure with a movable eye. The system includes a light source positioned in the robotic figure to output light through a light outlet of the eye. A light sensor is included that senses light striking surfaces in a physical space in which the robotic figure is positioned including the output light from the light source. The system includes an image processor processing output of the light sensor to identify a location of a target formed by the output light striking surfaces in the physical space and to identify a location of a face of a human. Further, the system includes a robot controller generating eye movement control signals based on the location of the target and the location of the face to position the eye to provide eye contact with the human observer.

Abstract: A ride adapted for providing riders or passengers with a unique ride experience. The ride includes a first turntable assembly including a first turntable and a drive mechanism operable to rotate the first turntable about a rotation axis extending vertically through the first turntable. The ride apparatus includes a second turntable assembly that is supported on the first turntable, and the second turntable assembly includes a second turntable and a drive mechanism operable to rotate the secondary turntable about a rotation axis extending vertically through the second turntable. The ride apparatus includes a number of passenger vehicles mounted on the second turntable that are rotated to maintain an angular orientation to cause the vehicles to face a focal point or area on a projection surface provided about the turntables. The drive mechanisms are operable to independently rotate the first and second turntables about the rotation axes, e.g., no mechanical linkage.

Abstract translation: 适合为骑手或乘客提供独特的乘坐体验。 行程包括第一转盘组件，其包括第一转台和驱动机构，该第一转盘和驱动机构可操作以使第一转盘围绕垂直延伸穿过第一转台的旋转轴旋转。 骑乘装置包括支撑在第一转盘上的第二转台组件，第二转台组件包括第二转盘和驱动机构，该第二转台和驱动机构可操作以围绕垂直延伸穿过第二转盘的旋转轴旋转副转盘。 骑乘装置包括安装在第二转台上的多个乘用车辆，其被旋转以保持角度定向以使车辆面向设置在转盘周围的突出表面上的焦点或区域。 驱动机构可操作以围绕旋转轴独立地旋转第一和第二转盘，例如没有机械连杆。
