Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional construction robots are used with remote control, then human operators can control the installation process, but the installation work requiring fine adjustment takes a long time and human error increases accident risk
Solution Approach 1:
The robot is equipped with autonomous navigation capabilities including laser range finders, ultrasonic sensors, and vision systems that enable it to independently locate positions, recognize environments, and perform installation tasks without continuous human intervention. The robot autonomously adjusts its position and orientation based on real-time sensor feedback, eliminating the time-consuming remote control operation while maintaining high installation accuracy through automated fine-adjustment mechanisms.
2Productivity
If construction materials are enlarged to meet diverse needs and improve construction efficiency, then construction efficiency increases, but transportation and installation become difficult with only manpower
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical operations with an autonomous robotic system that uses integrated sensors (laser range finders, ultrasonic sensors, vision systems) and automated mechanical arms to transport and install large construction materials. The robot's automated positioning and material handling mechanisms eliminate the physical limitations of human operators, enabling efficient transportation and precise installation of enlarged materials that would be difficult or impossible to handle manually.
3Adaptability or versatility
If human operators perform installation work, then flexibility and adaptability are maintained, but human error accounts for 95% or more of accidents due to personal negligence and work supervision error
Solution Approach 1:
The autonomous robot performs installation tasks independently using integrated sensor systems including laser range finders for distance measurement, ultrasonic sensors for obstacle detection, and vision systems for environment recognition. The robot autonomously navigates, positions, and installs materials based on real-time sensor data, eliminating human error while maintaining adaptability through programmable control algorithms that can handle various installation scenarios and adjust to changing site conditions.
4Manufacturing precision
If multiple autonomous driving robots are used for floor finishing material installation, then installation precision and uniformity improve, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the installation task among multiple specialized autonomous robots, each equipped with specific sensor suites (laser range finders, ultrasonic sensors, vision systems) and functional modules for cleaning, adhesive application, and material installation. Each robot operates independently with autonomous navigation capabilities, allowing parallel execution of installation tasks across different areas, which improves overall precision and uniformity while managing system complexity through modular design and standardized communication protocols.
