Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If fixed program instructions are used for robot control, then the control system is simple and easy to implement, but the robot's motion performance and environmental adaptation are poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol system complexityVSAvoidenvironmental adaptation
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic control parameters that adapt to environmental conditions. The robot uses environmental sensing to detect terrain characteristics and dynamically adjusts control parameters such as step length, step frequency, and body posture to optimize motion performance for different environments including flat ground, slopes, and uneven terrain.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes control parameters based on environmental feedback. By monitoring environmental data and motion state, the robot modifies parameters like joint angles, motor speeds, and force application to adapt to varying terrain conditions, transforming a static control system into one that responds dynamically to environmental changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of manufacture

If fixed program instructions are used for robot control, then the programming is straightforward, but the robot cannot accurately adapt to its environment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprogramming simplicityVSAvoidmotion accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where environmental sensors continuously monitor terrain conditions and motion state data is collected from onboard sensors. This feedback loop allows the robot to detect deviations from desired motion and automatically adjust control parameters to maintain accurate motion performance across varying environmental conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The robot performs self-adjustment of control parameters based on environmental feedback without requiring external reprogramming. The system autonomously modifies its control strategy by processing environmental data and motion state information, enabling accurate adaptation to different terrains while maintaining straightforward initial programming.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Adaptability or versatility

If environmental adaptation is improved through dynamic parameters, then motion performance increases, but the control system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveenvironmental adaptationVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the control system into modular functional components: environmental sensing modules, motion state detection modules, parameter prediction modules, and control execution modules. Each module performs a specific function, and they are interconnected through standardized interfaces, reducing overall system complexity while enabling sophisticated environmental adaptation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary processing layers between environmental sensing and control execution. Prediction modules serve as intermediaries that process raw environmental data and motion state information to generate optimized control parameters, simplifying the overall control architecture by separating data processing from control decision-making.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
