Modular Autonomous Delivery Platform for Mixed Product Loading
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The high manufacturing costs of autonomous driving vehicles for delivering products, such as groceries, are due to the need for various devices depending on the type of products, which increases complexity and costs.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that select and load products onto autonomous driving platforms based on product purchase information and weather data, using a server to connect and authenticate objects with the platforms, allowing for efficient autonomous delivery to users.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If various devices are provided in autonomous driving vehicles to deliver different types of products, then product delivery capability is improved, but manufacturing costs and device complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The autonomous driving vehicle is designed with a universal platform that can accommodate multiple types of storage devices (refrigerating, freezing, ambient temperature) and product types through standardized mounting interfaces and modular components, allowing one vehicle to perform multiple delivery functions without requiring separate specialized vehicles for each product type
Solution Approach 2:
The vehicle interior is divided into separate modular storage compartments (refrigerating compartment, freezing compartment, ambient temperature compartment) that can be independently configured and adjusted based on delivery requirements, allowing flexible arrangement of different device types within a standardized vehicle platform
2Adaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 2:
The vehicle configuration parameters (storage capacity, temperature zones, device types) can be adjusted and reconfigured based on delivery requirements, allowing the same vehicle platform to be adapted for different product types through parameter changes rather than manufacturing completely different vehicles
