Autonomous Route Segmentation for Faster Path Correction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing autonomous traveling devices require operators to re-record the entire traveling route to correct parts of the taught route, which lowers work efficiency for generating traveling routes.
Innovation Solution
An autonomous traveling system that divides the traveling route into individual routes, allowing operators to select and connect them to generate a new route, with the ability to replace specific sections without re-recording the entire route, using a reception unit, registration unit, obtaining unit, setting unit, and generation unit to improve route generation efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the operator re-records the entire traveling route to correct a part of the taught route, then the route correction is achieved, but the work efficiency for generating the traveling route is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The traveling route is divided into multiple individual traveling routes that can be independently selected and combined. This segmentation allows the operator to modify only the specific portion needing correction by replacing individual route segments rather than re-recording the entire route, thereby maintaining route correction capability while significantly improving work efficiency.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the entire traveling route is re-recorded to make partial changes, then the route modification is achieved, but the time required for route generation is increased
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the traveling route into individual routes stored in the storage unit, the system enables flexible modification of specific route portions. The operator can select and combine individual routes to create modified traveling routes without re-recording everything, thus achieving route modification flexibility while reducing the time required for route generation.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple individual traveling routes are pre-recorded and stored in the storage unit during the teaching phase. This preliminary action allows the operator to quickly assemble modified routes by selecting from pre-existing segments rather than re-recording from scratch, thereby reducing the time required for route generation while maintaining adaptability.
3Productivity
If the traveling route is divided into individual routes and connected, then the work efficiency is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The autonomous traveling device itself performs the route assembly and connection operations automatically. The control unit selects individual routes from storage, determines connection points, and generates the combined traveling route without requiring external assistance. This self-service approach improves work efficiency while the complexity is contained within the device rather than requiring additional external systems.
