1Ease of manufacture
If conventional methods use simplified mathematical models and theoretical fitting, then the modeling process is easier and faster, but the accuracy and realism of the deformation simulation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces conventional theoretical mechanical modeling with a data-driven approach using point cloud sequences and machine learning. Instead of relying on simplified mechanical models and theoretical stress-strain curves, the system captures actual deformation data through point cloud tracking and uses iterative optimization to learn material properties directly from observations, achieving higher accuracy without manual model simplification
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the modeling approach by changing from fixed theoretical parameters to dynamically optimized parameters. Material property coefficients and reference shapes are not predetermined but are iteratively estimated and updated based on point cloud data, allowing the model to adapt to actual object characteristics and achieve both accuracy and realism
2Device complexity
If conventional methods use theoretical stress-strain relation curves, then the modeling process is simpler, but the vividness and realism of the motion model deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the simulation model is continuously refined based on comparison with actual point cloud data. The iterative optimization process uses the deviation between simulated and observed deformations as feedback to update material properties and reference shapes, ensuring the motion model remains vivid and realistic while maintaining manageable complexity through automated adjustment
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary data capture and processing by acquiring point cloud sequences before model construction. This preliminary action of capturing actual deformation data provides the foundation for building a realistic motion model, allowing the system to learn from real-world behavior before simulation, thereby enhancing vividness without excessive complexity
