Mobile Robot Autonomous Navigation Using Dual-Transceiver Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional mobile robots require users to manually locate and control them, which is inconvenient when the user is unaware of the robot's position, especially when moving the robot to a specific target position.
Innovation Solution
A mobile robot system that includes a communication interface and a controller capable of detecting the position and direction indicated by a user terminal through wireless signals, allowing the robot to autonomously move to a target position based on communication response times between transceivers.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the user manually locates and controls the mobile robot using a remote controller, then the robot can be moved to a specific position, but the user experiences difficulty finding the robot and the operation becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile robot autonomously determines its own position and the user terminal's position by measuring communication response times between transceivers. The robot automatically calculates the target position and navigates without user intervention, making the system serve itself rather than requiring continuous user control
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical remote control operation with an automated communication-based positioning system. Instead of manually controlling the robot via remote controller, the system uses wireless signal exchange and response time measurement to automatically determine positions and guide the robot to the target location
2Productivity
If the user operates the mobile robot using a remote controller, then the robot can be moved to a specific position, but the operation process becomes inconvenient and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The robot autonomously performs positioning and navigation tasks by measuring communication response times and calculating target positions automatically. The system eliminates the need for users to manually control the robot's movement, making the robot serve itself in determining and executing the navigation to the target position
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the complex control operations from the user and transfers them to the robot's autonomous system. The robot independently handles position determination, target position calculation, and navigation execution, removing the burden of complex manual control from the user

AI summary
A mobile robot moving to a target position indicated by a user terminal, the mobile robot includes a driver configured to move the mobile robot; a communication interface configured to exchange a wireless signal with each of a first terminal transceiver and a second terminal transceiver included in the user terminal; and a controller configured to control the driver to move to the target position after transmission and reception of the wireless signal with the first terminal transceiver and transmission and reception of the wireless signal with the second terminal transceiver.
