Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If video data is transmitted by wireless communication from a moving robot, then the robot can move vertically and horizontally to capture videos on stage while minimizing influence on performers and equipment, but the quality of the video may deteriorate or the video distribution may be interrupted due to varying radio wave conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary measurement of radio wave conditions in the environment before the robot begins its video capture mission. Based on these pre-measured conditions, an operation plan is created in advance that designates specific movement routes and positions where radio wave intensity is sufficient for stable video transmission. This preliminary action ensures that when the robot executes the plan, it automatically stays within zones with adequate wireless connectivity, preventing video interruptions while maintaining mobility.
2Productivity
If the robot moves autonomously to capture videos, then cost saving and content expansion are achieved, but video transmission quality deteriorates due to radio wave interference in the environment
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates real-time monitoring of radio wave conditions during the robot's autonomous operation. The operation plan is dynamically adjusted based on feedback from radio wave intensity measurements, allowing the robot to adapt its movement and transmission parameters to maintain video quality. This feedback mechanism ensures that productivity gains from autonomous operation do not compromise transmission reliability.
