Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If motion data from the sensing side is directly reflected to the augmentation side, then the system is simple and responsive, but an unreasonable burden is imposed on the augmentation side or physical ability cannot be fully utilized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms motion data parameters from the sensing side to match the physical constraints and capabilities of the controlled side. The conversion unit adjusts parameters such as range of motion, speed, and force to ensure they fall within the feasible boundaries of the augmentation device, thereby maintaining responsiveness while preventing unreasonable burdens.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a conversion unit as an intermediary between the sensing side and the controlled side. This intermediary component processes and adapts motion data, transforming it into appropriate control commands that respect the physical limitations and capabilities of the augmentation device, thus eliminating direct coupling and preventing burden transfer.
2Device complexity
If motion data from the sensing side is directly reflected to the augmentation side, then the system structure is simple, but the physical ability on the augmentation side cannot be fully utilized
Solution Approach 1:
The conversion unit dynamically adjusts motion data parameters to match the specific physical capabilities of the controlled side. By transforming parameters such as joint angles, velocity, and acceleration ranges, the system fully utilizes the available physical ability of the augmentation device while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic parameter conversion that adapts to the real-time physical state and capabilities of the controlled side. The conversion unit continuously adjusts transformation parameters based on the current operational context, enabling full utilization of physical ability while keeping the system structure flexible and responsive rather than rigid and complex.
3Device complexity
If there is no consideration of physical ability differences, then the control system is simple, but unreasonable burden is imposed on the augmentation side
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary acquisition of physical information about the controlled side before executing motion transfer. The physical information acquisition unit collects data on range of motion, strength limits, and other physical constraints in advance, allowing the conversion unit to pre-calculate appropriate transformation parameters that prevent unreasonable burdens before they occur.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the conversion unit continuously monitors the physical state and performance of the controlled side. Based on this feedback, the conversion parameters are dynamically adjusted to ensure operations remain within safe and reasonable boundaries, thereby maintaining reliability while keeping the control system relatively simple through iterative adaptation.
