Robot Eye Lamp Control via Simulation Interface

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing robot eye lamp control methods require frequent rewriting of interactive instructions, leading to system resource wastage and reduced control efficiency due to mismatched light display effects and user demands.

Innovation Solution

A method involving a simulation image loaded onto a terminal device, allowing users to select and confirm color settings for LED eye lamps through a graphical interface, generating combined parameter information only when the desired effect is achieved, and transmitting it to the robot for precise light control.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users frequently rewrite and transmit interactive instructions to adjust eye lamp light display effects, then the light display effect can be adjusted to match user demands, but system resources are wasted and control efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a robot eye lamp control method as well as an apparatus and a terminal device using the same. The method includes: loading a simulation image corresponding to an cut shape of the eye lamp of the robot onto a display interface of a terminal device remotely connected with the robot; detecting a color setting instruction issued to each color block area in the simulation image by a user, and generating combined parameter information comprising each color value in response to having received a color confirmation instruction issued by the user, and transmitting the combined parameter information to the robot so that the robot performs a light control on the eye lamp based on the combined parameter information. The present disclosure guarantees that the robot will respond to an interactive instruction only when the light display effect and the actual demand of the user matches.
