Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple transfer paths are established for robots to grab cells in different locations, then the robot can transfer objects to different positions, but the simulation engineer has to repeat the same work continuously and the debugging cycle increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by creating a single reference path that can serve multiple transfer locations. Instead of establishing separate paths for each cell location, the system uses one reference path with offset parameters that can be adjusted to transfer objects to different positions. This makes the reference path universal and multi-functional, eliminating the need to repeat path establishment work for different locations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses parameter changes by introducing offset parameters (such as position offsets, orientation offsets) that can be modified to adapt the reference path to different target locations. By changing these parameters rather than creating new paths, the system efficiently handles transfers to various cell positions while maintaining the same base path structure, thereby reducing debugging time.
2Reliability
If simulation engineers manually establish multiple transfer paths for different cell locations, then complete coverage of all transfer scenarios is achieved, but redundant and repetitive work increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent reduces device complexity by replacing multiple specific transfer paths with a single universal reference path. This reference path can be adapted to cover all transfer scenarios through parameter adjustments, ensuring complete scenario coverage while dramatically reducing the number of paths that need to be established and maintained.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses copying by creating virtual copies of the reference path through parameter adjustments rather than manually establishing new paths. The offset parameters effectively copy the reference path structure to different locations, ensuring comprehensive coverage of transfer scenarios without the complexity of managing multiple independent paths.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present application relate to the field of virtual simulation technologies, and provide a robot offset simulation method and apparatus, a robot, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The robot offset simulation method includes: establishing a reference path for a virtual robot in simulation software, where the reference path is a path along which the virtual robot moves to transfer a reference object from a preset starting point to a destination location and then returns to the preset starting point; receiving location information of a target object that is sent by a PLC; determining an offset of the virtual robot based on the location information, where the offset is a location offset of the target object relative to the reference object; and controlling, based on the reference path and the offset, the virtual robot to move to transfer the target object.
