Robot Simulation Handle Positioning for Clear Virtual Model Operation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing robot simulators face difficulties in displaying operating handles due to overlapping with surrounding environment models, making it hard to visually check or access the handles and operate the robot system effectively.
Innovation Solution
The information processing apparatus allows users to adjust the display position and magnification of operating handles in a virtual model, enabling optimal placement and visibility through user-defined setting information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If operating handles are displayed at default positions in robot simulator, then simulation functionality is provided, but operating handles overlap with surrounding environment models making them hard to visually check and access
Solution Approach 1:
The operating handle display position is made dynamically adjustable rather than fixed. The system allows users to change the display position of operating handles according to their needs, transforming a static display problem into a dynamic solution that adapts to different viewing requirements and prevents overlap with environment models.
Solution Approach 2:
The display position parameters of operating handles are made changeable. By allowing users to modify the position parameters where operating handles are displayed on the screen, the system resolves the overlap issue with surrounding environment models while maintaining full functionality.
2Adaptability or versatility
If operating handles are displayed at fixed positions, then system complexity is reduced, but user ability to access and operate handles effectively is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides self-service functionality where users can independently adjust the display positions of operating handles according to their own needs. This user-controlled adjustment mechanism increases adaptability without requiring complex system-level changes or additional hardware.
