Centralized Teaching Information Database for Robot Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing robot teaching systems lack efficiency and convenience in managing and disseminating teaching information across multiple sites, leading to increased labor burdens for instructors and limited versatility of teaching data.
Innovation Solution
A robot system with a central teaching information database and interface devices at each site, allowing for the search, selection, and transfer of relevant teaching information to control the movement of robots, thereby simplifying the teaching process and enhancing data sharing across sites.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If teaching information is manually created and managed at each site, then each site can have customized teaching data, but the labor burden on instructors increases and data sharing across sites is limited
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple site-specific teaching management systems are merged into a single centralized teaching information management system that serves all sites. The central server consolidates teaching information from multiple sites into one unified database, eliminating the need for separate manual management at each site while enabling shared access to teaching data across all locations.
Solution Approach 2:
A central server acts as an intermediary between multiple work facilities and the teaching information database. This intermediary receives teaching information from various sites, manages the centralized database, and distributes relevant teaching data to appropriate sites, thereby reducing manual labor while maintaining data versatility and site-specific customization capabilities.
2Adaptability or versatility
If teaching information is centralized in a single database, then data sharing and versatility increase, but the complexity of managing and searching teaching data increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where teaching information is automatically categorized, tagged, and organized based on usage patterns and site-specific requirements. The central server continuously receives feedback from multiple sites about teaching data usage, enabling automatic optimization of data organization and retrieval processes, thereby managing complexity while enhancing versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The centralized database dynamically adjusts parameters such as data categorization schemes, search criteria, and information retrieval methods based on the specific needs of different sites. By changing organizational parameters automatically, the system manages the complexity of centralized data while maximizing its applicability across diverse work facilities.
3Productivity
If teaching information is searched manually at each site, then site-specific customization is maintained, but the efficiency of finding relevant teaching data decreases
Solution Approach 1:
Teaching information is pre-processed, categorized, and tagged at the central server before being distributed to sites. Relevant teaching data is prepared in advance with appropriate metadata and organizational structures, enabling efficient retrieval at each site without manual searching. This preliminary organization maintains site-specific customization while dramatically improving efficiency and information relevance.

AI summary
This disclosure discloses a robot system including one or more work facilities and a teaching information database. The work facilities comprise a robot and robot controller. The robot controller controls the movement of the robot based on teaching information stored in a storage part. The teaching information database stores a plurality of types of the teaching information associated with work information. Each work facility includes an interface device configured to receive an input of search condition information, to search teaching information highly relevant to the search condition information among the plurality of types of teaching information, and to receive a selection of desired teaching information among one or more sets of the teaching information hit in the search. The robot system further comprises a first transferring part configured to transfer the teaching information from the teaching information database to the storage part.
