Mover Robot Remote Control Locking Outside Driving Areas
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote control systems for lawn cutting robots lack safety and accuracy when operating outside their designated driving areas, due to limitations in communication and environmental factors, potentially leading to accidents.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that restricts remote control manipulation of a lawn cutting robot through a terminal if it is outside its designated driving area, requiring a preset authentication code input, ensuring safe and accurate operation by locking the control screen until proper authentication is provided.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If remote control is performed beyond a certain distance from the mover robot, then the operating range is expanded, but the control exactness and safety deteriorate due to communication environment and external environment factors
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the operating space into two distinct zones: a driving area where the robot operates autonomously, and an area other than the driving area where remote control is restricted. This spatial segmentation resolves the contradiction by allowing full remote control functionality only within the safe driving area while preventing unsafe operations in other areas.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary between the terminal and the mover robot, mediating all remote control commands. The server verifies whether the robot is within the driving area before allowing remote control operations, thus ensuring safety and control exactness while managing the remote control range.
2Reliability
If remote control is restricted to only the driving area, then control safety and exactness are maintained, but the usage flexibility and operational versatility are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts remote control accessibility based on the robot's real-time location. When the robot is within the driving area, full remote control functionality is available. When outside this area, the system transitions to a restricted mode requiring authentication, thus adapting the control system to the operational context.
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal serves multiple functions: it acts as a remote control interface when the robot is in the driving area, and as an authentication device when the robot is outside the driving area. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by providing different operational modes appropriate to each situation.
3Reliability
If authentication procedure is implemented for area other than driving area, then remote control safety is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to additional authentication steps
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary verification by continuously monitoring the robot's location and determining whether it is within the driving area before allowing remote control operations. This preliminary action prevents unsafe operations from occurring in the first place, rather than requiring authentication after an unsafe operation is initiated.
Solution Approach 2:
The server automatically performs safety verification by checking the robot's location against the driving area boundaries. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for manual authentication by the user, thus maintaining safety without compromising operational convenience.

AI summary
Disclosed are a mover robot system and a controlling method for the same, in which a manipulation of a control screen where a remote control is performed is restricted if a mover robot is located in an area other than a driving area, and a locked screen requesting an input of a preset use code is displayed on a terminal, whereby a display of the locked screen is maintained or released in accordance with the input code.
