Robot Path Execution With Real-Time Routing for Undetermined Sections
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing robot systems struggle with efficiently navigating undetermined sections in their operation paths due to lack of real-time environmental adaptation, leading to potential interference with obstacles and inefficiencies in production processes.
Innovation Solution
A robot system and control method that sequentially calls commands, generates additional paths for undetermined sections based on surrounding environment information, and operates the robot using both called commands and additional paths, ensuring flexible navigation and obstacle avoidance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the robot follows a pre-planned operation path, then the operation efficiency is improved, but the robot cannot adapt to obstacles or environmental changes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the operation path into determined sections (fixed pre-planned paths) and undetermined sections (generated in real-time based on environmental feedback). This dynamic segmentation allows the robot to maintain high efficiency on known paths while adapting to changes when undetermined sections are encountered, resolving the contradiction between operational efficiency and environmental adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the robot generates additional paths in real-time, then the adaptability to environment is improved, but the computational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The operation path is segmented into determined sections handled by pre-planned commands and undetermined sections requiring real-time path generation. This segmentation reduces computational complexity by limiting real-time processing to only the undetermined portions, while the determined sections follow efficient pre-computed paths.
3Manufacturing precision
If the robot uses geometric model means for path planning, then the path accuracy is improved, but the computation time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The determined sections of the operation path are pre-planned and stored as commands before robot execution. This preliminary action allows complex geometric path planning to be performed in advance, reducing computation time during actual robot operation while maintaining high path accuracy through the use of geometric model means during the planning phase.
