Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies for setting cleaning restriction zones for robot cleaners are imprecise and require significant user effort, often resulting in differences between the intended and actual restricted areas.
Innovation Solution
An AI moving agent equipped with sensors and processors that determine occupied regions and adjust the restricted zone set by a user based on object positions, allowing for precise resetting of the cleaning path to avoid collisions and optimize cleaning operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a user manually sets a cleaning restriction zone by touching the screen or installing signals, then the user can define a no-traveling zone, but the setting is imprecise and requires significant user effort
Solution Approach 1:
The robot cleaner automatically detects objects in the cleaning area and autonomously sets the restricted zone based on detected object positions and occupied regions, eliminating the need for manual user configuration while achieving precise zone definition
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical signaling methods with sensor-based automated detection systems that use cameras, LIDAR, or other sensing mechanisms to identify objects and automatically compute restricted zones, substituting user manual operations with automated sensing and processing
2Reliability
If a user-defined restricted zone is set manually, then the user can specify a cleaning restriction area, but there occurs a difference between the actually required and user-defined zones
Solution Approach 1:
The robot cleaner uses sensors to detect objects, determines occupied regions, and automatically adjusts the restricted zone based on this feedback from the environment, ensuring the zone accurately reflects actual requirements without manual intervention
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary object detection and occupied region determination before finalizing the restricted zone configuration, ensuring the zone is pre-adjusted to match actual requirements before cleaning operations begin
Data Source
AI summary
An artificial intelligence (AI) moving agent is provided. The AI moving agent includes a traveling actuator configured to drive the artificial intelligence moving agent, at least one sensor configured to obtain data for determining an occupied region, and at least one processor configured to determine an occupied region of one or more objects based on the data, and obtain an adjustment zone by resetting a restricted zone set by a user based on the occupied region of the one or more objects.
