Method, system, and non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for controlling a robot
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing robot control systems fail to provide situational and proper control without requiring cumbersome user operations, such as touch inputs, by accurately determining user identification based on sound and action information for performing specific operations.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that acquire sound and action information from users in a serving environment, determine user identification information, and decide on robot operations accordingly, using an information acquisition unit, identification information determination unit, and operation determination unit within a robot control system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the robot requires touch inputs or authentication operations for user identification, then user identification accuracy is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces mechanical touch inputs and manual authentication operations with acoustic field-based user identification. The robot uses its microphone to capture sound information (voice commands, keywords) from users, eliminating the need for physical contact or complex authentication procedures while maintaining accurate user identification and operational control.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the robot performs different operations based on user identification, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic operational adjustment based on real-time user identification through sound information analysis. The robot's control unit dynamically modifies its operations according to the identified user (employee vs. customer), enabling situational adaptability without requiring complex static configuration systems. The system seamlessly transitions between different operational modes based on acoustic input recognition.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for controlling a robot is provided. The method includes the steps of: acquiring at least one of sound information and action information for a robot from a user in a serving place; determining identification information on the user on the basis of at least one of the sound information and the action information; and determining an operation to be performed by the robot on the basis of the identification information.
