Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If fixed docking sites are used for transporting multiple objects, then transportation stability is improved, but adaptability and flexibility deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The autonomous mobile machine replaces fixed docking sites with dynamic, movable platforms that can autonomously navigate to different locations. The mobile carrier with telescoping components can adjust its position and configuration dynamically, providing both stability during transport and adaptability to different destinations and cargo configurations.
2Reliability
If fixed docking sites are used for transporting multiple objects, then docking reliability is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The autonomous mobile machine is equipped with sensors and control systems that enable it to autonomously locate, navigate to, and dock with designated areas without requiring fixed infrastructure or manual intervention. The system self-manages the docking process, improving ease of operation while maintaining reliability through automated positioning and alignment.
3Device complexity
If non-adjustable height platforms are used, then structural simplicity is improved, but adaptability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile carrier incorporates telescoping components that enable dynamic height adjustment. These components allow the platform to change its vertical position according to different cargo requirements and docking conditions, providing adaptability while maintaining relatively simple structural design through standardized telescoping mechanisms.
4Productivity
If fixed infrastructure is used for object transportation, then transportation efficiency is improved, but ease of repair deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The transportation system is divided into modular autonomous mobile machines rather than fixed infrastructure. Each mobile carrier is a self-contained unit with standardized components that can be independently maintained and repaired. This segmentation allows for easier repair and maintenance while maintaining high transportation efficiency through autonomous operation.
