Robot Path Control for Proactive Roadblock Removal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing intelligent robot control methods are inefficient when navigating through roadblocks such as entrance guards or elevators, requiring the robot to wait until it reaches a specific position or touches a button accurately, leading to low control efficiency.
Innovation Solution
The intelligent robot system determines a movement path with roadblocks and transmits a removal request when a certain distance is reached, allowing the robot to request the removal of the roadblock before arrival, using a control server to instruct the roadblock to be removed based on its type, thereby bypassing it without waiting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the intelligent robot waits at a specified position until it reaches an accurate position or touches a button, then the robot can pass through the roadblock, but the control efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by detecting the roadblock in advance along the movement path and proactively removing it before the robot arrives. The control server receives the movement path, identifies roadblocks ahead, and triggers their removal ahead of time, eliminating the need for the robot to wait at specified positions.
2Ease of operation
If the robot uses near field data communication or mechanical arm operation to pass through roadblocks, then the robot can access controlled areas, but the process requires accurate positioning and button touching
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically detecting roadblocks along the movement path and triggering their removal without requiring the robot to perform precise positioning or button-touching operations. The control server autonomously identifies roadblocks and initiates removal, allowing the robot to simply follow its movement path.
3Reliability
If the robot is controlled to wait at a specified position for a period of time, then the roadblock can be removed, but the overall inspection efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system maintains continuity of useful action by removing roadblocks proactively before the robot arrives, allowing the robot to continue its inspection task without interruption or waiting. The control server continuously monitors the movement path and triggers roadblock removal at optimal times, ensuring uninterrupted robot operation.

AI summary
An intelligent robot control method is provided for an intelligent robot. The method includes obtaining a first position at which the intelligent robot is currently located and a target position to be reached, and determining a movement path from the first position to the target position. The movement path has a particular roadblock. The method also includes transmitting a removal request when the intelligent robot moves from the first position to a second position, and a distance between the second position and a third position at which the particular roadblock is located and that is to be reached reaches a target distance. The removal request is used for requesting a removal instruction to be transmitted to the particular roadblock, and the removal instruction is used for, based on a roadblock type of the particular roadblock, instructing to remove the particular roadblock before the intelligent robot arrives.
