AR Visual Guidance Robot for Voice and Motion-Based Navigation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional guidance methods require users to actively seek out information centers or kiosks for navigation, leading to inefficiencies and wasted labor, and existing robots lack the ability to provide active, visualized guidance in complex environments.
Innovation Solution
An autonomous driving device that recognizes and analyzes user voice and motion features to generate visualized guide information using augmented or virtual reality, equipped with sensors for navigation and communication capabilities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional guidance methods using information centers and kiosks are used, then guidance service can be provided at specific locations, but users must actively seek out these centers leading to wasted time and reduced mobility
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of requiring users to actively seek out information centers, the system inverts the approach by having guidance information actively pursue users through mobile robots that autonomously navigate to users' locations and provide real-time directional guidance, transforming a passive information delivery system into an active user-centric service
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile robot guidance system operates autonomously without requiring human operators, using self-contained sensors, processors, and navigation systems to independently locate users, calculate optimal paths, and provide continuous guidance updates, eliminating the need for staffed information centers
2Productivity
If mobile robots autonomously move to interact with users, then active guidance service can be provided, but device complexity increases with multiple sensors and control units
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile robot is designed as a multi-functional platform that integrates navigation, user detection, path calculation, and visual guidance display capabilities into a single device, allowing one system to perform multiple guidance-related functions that would otherwise require separate systems
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses an external server as an intermediary to handle complex path calculation and route planning, allowing the mobile robot to focus on navigation and user interaction while the server manages the computationally intensive routing logic, thereby reducing on-robot complexity
