Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If robot operation data is collected from robots working in any environment, then the accuracy of robot control is improved, but the complexity of data collection and management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments robot operation data into distinct types (operation data, state data, sensor data) and assigns specific identifiers to each type. This segmentation allows for organized collection and management of diverse data from multiple robots, resolving the contradiction between comprehensive data collection and management complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an information collecting device as an intermediary component that centralizes the collection, identification, and management of robot operation data. This mediator handles the complexity of data from multiple sources, enabling improved control accuracy without proportionally increasing overall system complexity
2Productivity
If work related information is collected and analyzed, then the productivity of robot control system is improved, but the loss of time for data processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by assigning identifiers to work related information during the data collection phase itself, rather than during subsequent analysis. This pre-organization of data with task identifiers enables faster processing and analysis later, improving productivity without proportionally increasing data processing time
