Mobile Robot Positioning for Accurate Virtual Body Fitting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current robots are limited in providing diverse services and struggle to accurately identify user body information while minimizing user movement, especially in providing virtual fitting services.
Innovation Solution
A robot system with a driving module, cameras, and a controller that moves to a position to scan the user's body, calculates body shape information, and creates a virtual avatar for providing a virtual fitting service, including recommending products based on user data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the robot stays close to the user to scan body information, then scanning accuracy is improved, but the user's movement is increased
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a two-dimensional scanning approach (close proximity) to a three-dimensional solution by incorporating robot mobility. The robot moves to optimal positions around the user, utilizing spatial dimensionality to achieve comprehensive body scanning without requiring the user to move, thereby resolving the contradiction between scanning accuracy and user convenience.
2Measurement precision
If the robot moves to optimize scanning position, then body information identification accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The robot integrates multiple functions into a single platform: mobility for positioning, camera systems for scanning, and processing capabilities for avatar creation. This multi-functional design achieves accurate body information identification while consolidating complexity into a unified system rather than requiring separate specialized devices.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the robot provides comprehensive virtual fitting service with avatar creation, then service versatility is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by capturing and storing comprehensive body information during the initial scanning phase. This pre-acquired data is then reused for multiple virtual fitting scenarios and product recommendations, enabling versatile services without repeatedly processing the same information, thus reducing overall processing time.

AI summary
Disclosed is a method of controlling a robot, the method including receiving user input of a request for fitting service, moving the robot to a position at which a distance from the user satisfies a predetermined reference distance or more, and a predetermined range or more of the body of the user is scannable, scanning the predetermined range or more of the body of the user through the camera at the moved position, and providing the fitting service by creating a virtual avatar character of the user based on a result of scanning.
