Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems to analyze wearable technology. A robot with snake assembly works in conjunction with a server in order to simulate the locomotive actions of appendages and to concomitantly determine the response of wearable technology devices, which are attached to the snake robot assembly, to the simulated locomotive actions.
Claims18
A system for analyzing wearable technology, comprising:
- a plurality of wearable devices;
- a robotic device, configured to attach the plurality of wearable devices;
- a snake assembly of the robotic device, configured to mimic locomotive movements of a range of appendage movements using a pronged structure, wherein the pronged structure simulates a plurality of gestures;
- a first plurality of detection units of the robotic device, which obtain a response of the plurality of wearable devices to the plurality of gestures;
- a second plurality of detection units of the robotic device, which obtain a plurality of signals in response to simulating the plurality of gestures;
- a server, operatively coupled to the robotic device, wherein the server is configured to:
- (i) obtain the plurality of signals, and (ii) associate a response of a plurality of ribs in the snake assembly of the robotic device with the plurality of signals as a validation result, wherein:
- failures in real time among the plurality of wearable devices are identified in real-time based on the validation result, and
- a design of the plurality of wearable devices is modified in response to identifying the failures in real time among the plurality of wearable devices.
