Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a mobile device operates autonomously in complex environments like music events, then collision avoidance and interaction performance are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile device is divided into functionally independent modules: imaging unit for capturing subjects, sensor unit for environment recognition and collision detection, and light emitting unit for communication and expression. This segmentation allows each module to operate autonomously according to its specific function, improving reliability while managing complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The device performs autonomous operations including self-navigation, subject tracking, and collision avoidance without continuous manual control. The control unit automatically coordinates the imaging unit, sensor, and light emitting unit to execute pre-planned operations and adapt to real-time environmental feedback, reducing the need for external intervention.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the light emitting unit performs complex light emission expressions, then interaction performance is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The light emitting unit employs periodic light emission patterns rather than continuous emission. Light is emitted in synchronized intervals that correspond to the device's operational cycles and interaction moments, providing sufficient communication and expression capability while significantly reducing overall energy consumption compared to continuous operation.
3Productivity
If the device autonomously images based on photographing plan, then productivity is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
A photographing plan is established in advance that defines the sequence and parameters of imaging operations. The control unit executes this pre-planned sequence automatically, coordinating the imaging unit to capture subjects according to the predetermined plan while the device moves autonomously, thereby improving imaging productivity without requiring complex real-time manual control.
