Robot Interference Checking with Command-Based Threshold Setting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for confirming robot movement require setting multiple thresholds for each component, making the interference check process complex and prone to errors due to the need for individual threshold settings for different movements.
Innovation Solution
An information processing method and apparatus that allows for the setting of thresholds for interference confirmation between components, enabling the use of both individual and general thresholds based on specific commands or movements, facilitating easier management and reducing errors by associating thresholds with program commands defining the robot's operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If individual thresholds are set for each component in interference check, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the interference check process by associating thresholds with specific program commands rather than individual components. Each command can have its own threshold setting, which divides the complexity into manageable units corresponding to operational steps rather than mechanical components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal threshold setting mechanism where a single threshold value can be applied to multiple components involved in a command operation. This multi-functional approach allows one threshold to serve multiple components simultaneously, reducing the total number of threshold settings required.
2Measurement precision
If multiple thresholds are set for different components, then interference check accuracy is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the threshold setting operation with the program command structure. Instead of managing separate threshold settings for each component, thresholds are combined into command-level parameters, making them easier to manage alongside the operational program.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary threshold setting during program creation or editing phases. By establishing thresholds before execution, the system eliminates the need for complex real-time threshold management during robot operation, simplifying the user interface and operational workflow.
3Reliability
If individual thresholds are set for each component, then interference check reliability is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service functionality where the system automatically manages threshold associations with program commands. The automatic linkage between commands and thresholds eliminates manual configuration time while maintaining reliable interference checking, as the system handles the association automatically based on program structure.

AI summary
An information processing method includes in performing an interference confirmation between a first component and a second component, executing a threshold setting processing of setting a threshold for a piece of information that defines a movement of the first component or the second component, and executing an interference confirmation processing of performing the interference confirmation using the threshold set for the information.
