Robot TRIZ Cases

Magnetic coupling replaces mechanical fasteners so a spherical self-propelled unit can carry external accessories with stable, low-friction attachment.

Magnetic coupling through a spherical housing replaces fasteners and specialized controllers while keeping accessories stably positioned during movement.

Sensor-based mapping and zone segmentation help a robot avoid repeat cleaning, adapt its path, and cover surfaces more evenly.

Preconfigured alignment members guide IDM and tool drive shafts into non-visual engagement, reducing coupling delay and motion-transfer latency.

Signal-based virtual boundaries let mobile robots detect line alignment and avoid unwanted area transitions without physical barriers.

Human control actions captured in virtual reality are converted into autonomous robot signals, reducing programming effort across varied environments.

A communication robot adjusts approach angle and distance from estimated human emotion to reduce stress and improve interaction comfort.

Paired receivers detect when a robot aligns with a virtual line, confining movement between work areas without physical barriers.

A zoned workspace map lets a cleaning robot update boundaries, adapt its path, and avoid redundant passes with onboard sensors.

Multilevel vertical conveyors and autonomous transport robots retrieve individual case units without moving entire pallets, supporting mixed-goods pallet generation.

Direct case-unit access avoids moving entire pallets, while alternate paths maintain access across storage levels.

A mobile robot uses a camera to capture projected light patterns and adjusts its heading based on image symmetry.

An autonomous robotic system navigates aircraft cabins to detect asset locations via RFID tags, eliminating manual inventory errors.

Operating environment information generating device estimates contact surface posture using robot body attitude data for mobile navigation.
