Autonomous Cleaner Route Segmentation for Partial Path Editing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current autonomous traveling devices require repetitive operator interaction to correct or modify their traveling routes, which lowers work efficiency and increases operator workload.
Innovation Solution
An autonomous traveling system that divides the traveling route into individual routes, allowing operators to select and connect them, with a generation unit that creates a new route by replacing or supplementing existing segments, reducing the need for complete route re-recording.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If the operator drives the autonomous traveling device to re-record the entire traveling route to correct a part of the route, then the route accuracy is improved, but the work efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The traveling route is divided into multiple individual traveling routes (first individual traveling route, second individual traveling route, etc.). Each individual route represents a segment of the complete traveling path. This segmentation allows the operator to modify only specific segments rather than re-recording the entire route, thereby improving work efficiency while maintaining route accuracy.
2Reliability
If the operator performs repetitive teaching operations to modify the traveling route, then the route correctness is improved, but the operator workload increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-registers multiple individual traveling routes in advance. When route modification is needed, the operator can simply select and combine previously registered individual routes rather than performing repetitive teaching operations. This preliminary preparation significantly reduces operator workload while ensuring route correctness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows the operator to copy and reuse previously registered individual traveling routes. Instead of re-teaching the entire route, the operator can select existing individual routes that match the desired path segments and combine them to form the corrected traveling route, thereby reducing workload while maintaining accuracy.
3Manufacturing precision
If the entire traveling route is re-recorded to make partial changes, then the route modification accuracy is improved, but the time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the traveling route into individual routes, the system enables modification of only the specific segments that need correction. The operator selects and combines relevant individual routes to create the modified traveling route, avoiding the time-consuming process of re-recording the entire route while maintaining modification accuracy.
