Robot Trajectory Display for Highlighting Specific Movements
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing simulation technologies do not allow for the display of specific movements of interest in robot operations, making it difficult for users to grasp the relevant parts of the robot's trajectory during tasks like coating or welding.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that enables the display of a trajectory related to a specific movement of a robot, allowing users to set and highlight the movement of interest, with options for time-based, operation-based, or control-mode-based trajectory display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the entire robot trajectory is displayed, then the user can see the complete movement path, but it becomes difficult to identify specific parts of interest
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and displays only the specific trajectory segments of interest rather than the entire trajectory. The setting unit allows users to specify particular start and end points, and the display unit renders only those selected segments, filtering out unnecessary portions to improve visibility of critical movement parts.
Solution Approach 2:
The trajectory is divided into multiple segments, and the user can selectively display individual segments or combinations of segments. This segmentation allows focused visualization of specific movement portions while maintaining the option to view other segments separately, resolving the conflict between showing complete information and highlighting specific parts.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple trajectory display options are provided, then user flexibility is improved, but the operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display system provides dynamic switching between different trajectory display modes (full trajectory, partial trajectory, specific segments). The setting unit allows users to flexibly configure display parameters such as start/end points and visibility settings, adapting the trajectory presentation to different operational needs without requiring complex manual configuration for each scenario.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a display unit configured to display information on an operation of a robot, and a setting unit configured to set a trajectory of a movement related to the operation of the robot to be displayed, wherein the set trajectory can be made for a part of the trajectory.
