Mobile Body Motion Blending to Reduce Generation Time
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Generating a new motion for a mobile body from scratch is time-consuming and costly, and limited by the creator's own ideas, restricting the variety of motions that can be generated.
Innovation Solution
A mobile body system that blends predetermined first and second motions with a reflection degree set by a blending parameter, using a motion generator and controller to create a new third motion, which can be reflected in the mobile body's actual performance, and includes a user interface for parameter specification and mechanical learning to align with user preferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a new motion is generated from the beginning by a creator, then the motion can be customized according to creator's ideas, but it takes effort and time and is costly
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-generates and stores multiple basic motions (first motion, second motion, etc.) in advance. When a new motion is needed, these pre-prepared motions are blended together using blending parameters rather than creating from scratch, significantly reducing the time and effort required while maintaining customization capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges multiple existing motions (first motion and second motion) through blending operations to create a new third motion. By combining predetermined motions with different blending parameters, the system generates diverse customized motions without requiring complete new motion creation, thus reducing time and cost while maintaining adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a new motion is generated from the beginning, then the motion reflects creator's original ideas, but the variety of generatable motions is limited by creator's own ideas
Solution Approach 1:
The system combines multiple predetermined motions (first motion, second motion) through blending operations to generate a third motion with greater variety. This approach overcomes the limitation of creator's own ideas by systematically combining existing motion patterns, thereby expanding the diversity of generatable motions while managing complexity through parameter-based control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses blending parameters to control the degree and manner of motion combination. By adjusting blending parameters, the system can generate a wide variety of motions from the same set of predetermined motions, expanding motion diversity without proportionally increasing system complexity. The parameters provide a systematic way to explore motion space beyond individual creator limitations.
3Ease of operation
If blending parameter is set manually by user, then user can control the motion characteristics, but the process requires user effort and understanding
Solution Approach 1:
The system includes a learning processor that learns user preferences through feedback. The specification prompt section presents proposal parameters to the user, and the learning processor uses the user's selections and adjustments as training data. This feedback mechanism allows the system to automatically refine blending parameters according to user preferences, reducing the effort and understanding required while maintaining precise motion control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs automatic learning and proposal generation without requiring manual parameter setting by the user. The learning processor automatically analyzes user preferences and generates appropriate blending parameters and proposal parameters, enabling the system to serve itself in terms of parameter optimization. This reduces user effort and complexity while maintaining ease of operation through intelligent automation.

AI summary
To prompt generation of a new motion of a mobile body. The mobile body includes: a blending parameter setting section that sets a blending parameter; a motion generator that is configured to be able to generate a third motion by blending, into a predetermined first motion as a motion of the mobile body, a predetermined second motion as a motion of the mobile body different from the first motion with a reflection degree corresponding to the blending parameter set by the blending parameter setting section; and a motion controller that is configured to be able to reflect the third motion generated by the motion generator to a motion to be actually performed by the mobile body.
