Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If PID control algorithm is used for UAV flight control, then the control system is simple to implement, but the precision and adaptability are low in nonlinear complex environments
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the traditional PID control algorithm (mechanical/mathematical control system) with a deep neural network-based reinforcement learning system. The neural network learns optimal control policies through interaction with the environment, substituting the fixed mathematical control law with an adaptive intelligent system that can handle nonlinear complex environments while maintaining implementation feasibility through automated training.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the control approach from manually tuning fixed PID parameters to dynamically adjusting control actions based on learned patterns. The neural network automatically adapts its internal parameters (weights and biases) during training, enabling the system to change its control behavior according to the specific flight conditions without manual intervention.
2Device complexity
If PID control algorithm is used for UAV flight control, then the system structure is simple, but the adaptability to varied flight conditions is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamics into the control system by using a neural network that continuously adapts its control outputs based on current flight states. Unlike the static PID controller with fixed parameters, the neural network dynamically adjusts its control actions by processing current sensor inputs through learned patterns, enabling real-time adaptation to varied flight conditions while maintaining a relatively simple overall system structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The neural network controller performs self-service by automatically learning optimal control strategies through reinforcement learning during the training phase. Once trained, the system independently adapts to different flight conditions without requiring manual reconfiguration or intervention, making the control system self-adjusting and highly adaptable to varied environments.
3Ease of operation
If manual parameter adjustment is performed for PID control, then the control can be customized, but the time consumption and complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing extensive parameter optimization and adaptation during the offline training phase. The neural network is trained in advance on a wide range of flight scenarios, pre-learning optimal control strategies. This preliminary training eliminates the need for time-consuming manual parameter adjustment during actual operation, as the system has already adapted to various conditions beforehand.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent substitutes the manual parameter adjustment process with an automated reinforcement learning training process. Instead of engineers manually tuning PID parameters through trial and error, the neural network automatically learns optimal control policies through interaction with the environment, significantly reducing both the time and complexity associated with parameter customization.
4Manufacturing precision
If deep neural network reinforcement learning is used for UAV control, then the precision and robustness are improved, but the training data requirements and computational costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses copying by creating a simulated environment that replicates the real UAV flight dynamics. The neural network is trained in this virtual copy of the real system, generating synthetic training data through simulation rather than requiring extensive real-world flight data collection. This approach maintains high control precision while significantly reducing the quantity of physical training data needed.
