Existing autonomous mobile green area maintenance robots lack an efficient method to determine optimal control parameters for navigating and treating areas of specific shapes and sizes, leading to suboptimal treatment efficiency and effectiveness.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that determine a specific control parameter range for autonomous mobile green area maintenance robots by predefining the area's shape and size, using algorithms to select suitable parameters such as departure and rotation angles, and simulating movement sequences to cover the largest area in the shortest time, allowing the robot to operate independently and efficiently within boundaries.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If autonomous mobile green area maintenance robots use fixed control parameters for movement, then the device complexity is reduced, but the treatment efficiency and effectiveness on areas of specific shapes and sizes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by predefining the shape and size of the area to be treated before the robot begins operation. This allows the control system to determine optimal control parameters in advance based on the specific geometric characteristics of the target area, thereby improving treatment efficiency without requiring complex real-time calculations during robot operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by determining specific control parameters (such as departure angles and rotation angles) as a function of the predefined area shape and size. Instead of using fixed control parameters, the system adapts the parameters to match the specific geometric characteristics of the treatment area, optimizing the robot's movement and treatment effectiveness for different area configurations.
2Ease of operation
If the robot uses general control parameters for all areas, then the ease of operation is improved, but the adaptability to specific area shapes and sizes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes control parameters based on the specific shape and size of the area to be treated. By automatically determining optimal parameters (such as departure angles and rotation angles) as a function of the area's geometric characteristics, the system maintains ease of operation while achieving high adaptability to different area configurations.
Solution Approach 2:
The robot system performs self-service by automatically determining its own optimal control parameters based on the predefined area characteristics. The system independently calculates the appropriate departure angles and rotation angles without requiring manual intervention, thereby maintaining ease of operation while achieving high adaptability to different treatment areas.
