Robot Riding System with Dynamic PUI Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current robot riding systems require manual adjustment by users, especially those with mobility difficulties, to fit their body shape, which is inconvenient and poses challenges in user authentication and personalized service.
Innovation Solution
A control method and system that uses authentication information to adjust the robot's structure to fit the user's body size, including inputting user data such as height and convenient features, authenticating the user, and deforming components like the back, footrest, and display to provide a customized riding experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the robot has a fixed shape, then the manufacturing and structural simplicity is maintained, but the adaptability to different user body sizes is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The robot implements dynamic structure adjustment through actuators that enable real-time modification of component positions and shapes. The seat, backrest, footrest, and display are designed as movable components that can be automatically adjusted to match different user body dimensions, transforming the fixed structure into a dynamic adaptive system.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes physical parameters of the robot structure based on user authentication data. When a user is identified, the control unit modifies parameters such as seat height, backrest angle, footrest position, and display orientation to suit the user's body size, enabling the same robot to adapt to multiple users with different physical characteristics.
2Ease of operation
If manual adjustment is required for PUI, then the device complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation deteriorates especially for users with mobility difficulties
Solution Approach 1:
The robot performs self-adjustment of its physical user interface based on authenticated user information. The system automatically modifies the PUI configuration without requiring manual intervention from the user, enabling users with mobility difficulties to operate the robot independently without assistance from others.
Solution Approach 2:
The robot pre-adjusts the physical user interface components before the user actually interacts with them. Upon authentication, the system proactively configures the seat, backrest, footrest, and display to the appropriate positions and orientations, so that when the user approaches, everything is already optimized for their body size.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the robot structure is deformed to suit user body size, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The robot's physical user interface is divided into separate adjustable segments including the seat, backrest, footrest, and display. Each component can be independently adjusted through dedicated actuators, allowing fine-grained customization of the PUI configuration to match user body size without requiring complex overall structural changes.
