Robot Parameter Retrieval for Faster Teaching and Abnormal Response
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Less-skilled operators face challenges in efficiently transferring and applying know-how for robot teaching due to the complexity of robot operation parameters, leading to inefficient manual searches and prolonged training times when abnormal situations occur.
Innovation Solution
A robot control device that stores operation parameters in association with index values representing the robot's operation state, enabling search and display of relevant parameters to assist in parameter setting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If operators manually search through manuals to find operation parameters, then they can eventually accumulate know-how, but the process is time-consuming and reduces overall efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a digital copy of operation parameter knowledge by storing searched parameters and their outcomes in a database. This digital copy can be quickly retrieved and shared, eliminating the need to manually search through physical manuals repeatedly while preserving the accumulated know-how.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-storing operation parameters and their corresponding outcomes in a database before they are needed. When an abnormal situation occurs, the search unit can immediately retrieve relevant parameters without requiring operators to manually search through manuals, thus saving time while the know-how is already prepared in advance.
2Ease of operation
If all know-how is transferred to new operators, then they can perform parameter setting smoothly, but the transfer process requires a great deal of time
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts essential operation parameters and their corresponding outcomes from the manual search process and stores them in a database. This extraction allows new operators to access only the relevant parameter information they need without requiring extensive training on all possible parameters, thus improving ease of operation while reducing training time.
Solution Approach 2:
The database acts as an intermediary between the accumulated know-how and new operators. Instead of directly transferring all know-how through time-consuming training, the database mediates by providing quick access to specific parameter information, enabling new operators to become proficient more rapidly.
3Reliability
If operators correct operation parameters to prevent abnormal situations, then robot teaching can be completed, but low-skilled operators do not know which parameter affected the abnormal situation
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by storing not only the operation parameters but also their corresponding outcomes and abnormal situations in the database. When an abnormal situation occurs, the search unit retrieves parameters associated with similar situations, providing feedback to operators about which parameters likely caused the problem and how to correct them, thus improving both reliability and ease of operation.
