Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a single robot is embedded with a one-purpose program, then the robot can reliably execute specific tasks, but the robot cannot adapt to different functions without changing hardware or reprogramming from scratch

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunction adaptabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a platform service system that allows a single robot to execute multiple different behavior simulation programs. The robot hardware remains unchanged while the software platform enables the robot to perform various functions by loading different programs, achieving multi-functionality without increasing hardware complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a virtual behavior simulation layer that copies human behaviors into programmable formats. These simulated behaviors are stored as data on a platform server, allowing the robot to download and execute different behavior patterns without physical modification, effectively copying human capabilities into software

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If different behavior simulation programs require different hardware or robots, then each robot is optimized for its specific task, but the system requires multiple robots and increases hardware complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask execution reliabilityVSAvoidnumber of robots
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent makes a single robot universal by enabling it to run multiple behavior simulation programs through a platform service. This eliminates the need for multiple specialized robots while maintaining task execution reliability through proper program selection and deployment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Adaptability or versatility

If behavior simulation programs are exchanged unidirectionally or bidirectionally, then program sharing and collaboration are enabled, but the system requires a complex platform infrastructure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprogram exchange capabilityVSAvoidplatform infrastructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a platform service as an intermediary between robots and behavior simulation programs. The platform server stores, manages, and distributes behavior programs, facilitating unidirectional and bidirectional exchange without requiring direct complex interactions between robots, thus simplifying the overall system architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A system for providing a behavior simulation platform service is provided, and comprises: a user terminal that selects and downloads at least one behavior simulation program, and then applies the at least one behavior simulation program to a previously owned robot; and a platform service provision server including a database unit that maps and stores the at least one behavior simulation program and at least one robot, a transmission unit that, if the user terminal selects a behavior simulation program, transmits the selected behavior simulation program to the user terminal, and a storage unit that, if feedback is received from the previously owned robot via the user terminal, stores the feedback.
