Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If existing systems are used for autonomous mobile robots, then the robots can perform various tasks, but users cannot quantitatively understand the necessary resources required for task execution
Solution Approach 1:
An information providing system acts as an intermediary between the autonomous mobile robot system and users. This mediator receives input information about task requirements and robot configurations, processes it through calculation processing, and outputs quantitative resource information. The intermediary transforms complex internal resource requirements into comprehensible external information without modifying the robot system itself.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual or mechanical resource estimation methods with automated calculation processing. Instead of users manually calculating or guessing resource requirements, the system uses automated processing to compute quantitative resource information based on input parameters, substituting human cognitive effort with computational algorithms.
2Reliability
If detailed resource information is provided for autonomous mobile robots, then users can make informed decisions, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary calculation processing to determine resource requirements before actual robot deployment or task execution. By calculating and providing resource information in advance, users can make informed decisions about robot introduction and usage without facing the complexity of real-time resource analysis during operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The information providing system creates a virtual model or copy of the robot system's resource requirements through calculation processing. Instead of physically measuring or experimenting with different configurations, the system generates a computational representation of resource needs based on input parameters, allowing users to analyze decisions without physical trial and error.
