Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Robots are limited to performing preconfigured tasks and struggle to adapt to user-specific demands in complex environments, failing to understand and execute user instructions effectively.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that enable a robot to receive user tasks, position and obtain objects by obtaining images, and operate on other objects to decouple them if necessary, utilizing machine learning models for image recognition and action determination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a user manually operates multiple different applications to complete a task, then the user can access various functions, but the operation time and complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple applications and their functions into a single integrated interface. The system aggregates data from different applications (messaging, emails, calendar, contacts) and presents them in one unified view, allowing users to access and manage multiple applications without switching between them, thus reducing operation time and improving productivity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal interface that can handle multiple application types and functions through a single system. This multi-functional interface can display messages, emails, calendar events, and contact information simultaneously, allowing one system to perform the functions of multiple separate applications
2Adaptability or versatility
If a user manually operates multiple different applications to complete a task, then the user can access various functions, but the number of operations and interface complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information from multiple applications into distinct but integrated components within a single interface. Different application data (messages, emails, calendar events) are organized as separate elements that can be independently accessed and managed, reducing the perceived complexity while maintaining access to diverse functions
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal interface that can handle multiple application types and functions through a single system. This multi-functional interface can display messages, emails, calendar events, and contact information simultaneously, allowing one system to perform the functions of multiple separate applications
3Ease of operation
If traditional user assistance methods are used, then users can get help, but the assistance is not personalized and requires multiple interaction steps
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service assistance system where the interface automatically analyzes user behavior patterns and provides contextual help without requiring users to search for assistance. The system monitors user interactions and proactively offers guidance or shortcuts based on observed difficulties, eliminating the need for multiple interaction steps to obtain help
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor user interactions with the interface. Based on this feedback, the system adapts its assistance provision, offering help precisely when and where users need it most, thereby reducing the time required to obtain effective assistance

AI summary
Provided are a method, apparatus, device and medium for executing a user task. In a method, a user task is received from a user, and the user task instructs a robot device to obtain a first object. The first object is positioned in a physical space where the robot device is located based on a first image of the physical space. The robot device moves to a position of the first object to obtain a second image of the first object. In response to determining, based on the second image, that the first object cannot be obtained, the robot device operates the second object to obtain the first object. By means of the exemplary implementation of the disclosure, a robot device can execute a user task in a complex physical space, so that the flexibility and accuracy of performing a task by the robot device in a complex environment can be improved, thereby completing an expected user task.
