Robot Task Handover Control Using Additional Execution Time
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face decreased work efficiency when robots fail to complete tasks due to battery failure or voltage drop, leading to inefficient task handovers among multiple robots.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device determines a second device to take over a first task by detecting handover targets, acquiring necessary information, and selecting a partner based on additional execution time to minimize efficiency loss.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If task handover is implemented when a robot fails to complete a task, then task completion reliability is improved, but overall work efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the parameter of task allocation by calculating and comparing additional execution times for different robots. Instead of simple task handover, it optimizes task assignment by selecting the robot that minimizes additional execution time, thus maintaining efficiency while ensuring task completion
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by calculating the additional time required for each candidate robot to execute the handover task, and uses this feedback information to determine the optimal robot for task assignment, thereby resolving the contradiction between reliability and efficiency
2Duration of action of stationary object
If simple task handover is performed without optimization, then task continuity is maintained, but work efficiency of the robot system decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary calculation of additional execution times for all candidate robots before making the task assignment decision. This preliminary action allows the system to maintain task continuity while optimizing for efficiency by selecting the best candidate in advance
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically determines task assignment by calculating additional execution times based on current robot states and task characteristics. This dynamic approach ensures both task continuity and optimal work efficiency by adapting to real-time conditions

AI summary
An information processing device that determines a second device which takes over execution of a first task from a first device for executing the first task and which executes a second task different from the first task performs: detecting that the first task is a handover target; acquiring handover target task information on the first task; acquiring handover partner candidate information on candidates for the second device; acquiring an additional time required for executing the first task when the first task is handed over and executed for each candidate for the second device on the basis of the handover target task information and the handover partner candidate information; and determining the second device to which the first task is handed over out of the candidates for the second device on the basis of the additional times.
