Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If workers manually install the floor at high heights, then the installation can be completed with simple equipment, but the safety risk increases and construction time is prolonged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical installation with an automated robot system that uses sensors, grippers, and controlled movement mechanisms to install floor panels. The robot autonomously performs positioning, gripping, and placement operations, eliminating the need for workers to manually handle heavy materials at heights.
Solution Approach 2:
The robot system is self-sufficient in performing the installation task, using its own sensors to detect positions, its own actuators to move and position panels, and its own control system to coordinate operations. The system does not require human intervention during the installation process, making it self-service capable.
2Productivity
If workers manually level and position heavy floor panels, then no specialized positioning equipment is needed, but the construction time increases and labor costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual positioning and leveling operations with an automated robot system equipped with sensors and control mechanisms. The robot uses its sensing capabilities to detect panel positions and its control systems to make precise adjustments, eliminating manual leveling work.
Solution Approach 2:
The robot system changes the operational parameters by using automated control variables (motor speeds, gripper forces, positioning coordinates) instead of manual physical adjustments. This allows for precise and rapid positioning by controlling mechanical parameters through electronic signals rather than manual effort.
3Reliability
If safety nets and lifelines are provided for worker protection, then worker safety is improved, but the construction costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces human workers with an automated robot system that performs installation operations without requiring safety protection equipment. The robot inherently operates safely at heights without needing safety nets or lifelines, eliminating the need for these safety substances.
4Manufacturing precision
If skilled technicians perform the installation work, then the installation quality is maintained, but the training requirements increase and labor costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces skilled human technicians with an automated robot system that performs installation operations. The robot's precision is achieved through sensor feedback and control algorithms rather than human skill, eliminating the need for trained personnel while maintaining installation quality.

AI summary
The present invention provides a method for constructing an access floor by using unmanned robot, the method comprising: a first step (S100) of constructing an installation frame (10) and a peripheral slab (60) formed on the periphery of the installation frame; a second step (S200) of positioning the unmanned robot on the peripheral slab (60); and a third step (S300) of coupling a floor (30) to the installation frame (10) by the unmanned robot while moving along the peripheral slab (60). According to the present invention, an automated robot can install a mat and floor in place of a worker performing dangerous floor installation work, so as to prevent the occurrence of workplace safety accidents. Furthermore, through the installation of a mat and floor by the robot, floor installation location selection and leveling work can be quickly performed, so as to reduce the construction costs and shorten the construction period.
