Unmanned Vehicle Equipment Control for Automatic Worker Setup
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In vehicles operated by unmanned driving, the time and effort required to adjust equipment positions and states based on worker features and work content can increase, affecting efficiency and worker convenience.
Innovation Solution
A control system that includes a moving object, an acquisition unit, and a control unit, which acquires personal and content information to automatically adjust equipment states based on worker features and work requirements, using a database to determine optimal configurations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a worker manually adjusts equipment positions and states according to personal features and work content, then the equipment can be configured appropriately for each worker, but the work time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic equipment adjustment by having the moving object itself (or its control system) perform the adjustment based on acquired work information, eliminating the need for worker intervention. The control system automatically changes equipment states according to stored preferences and current work requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-stores equipment configuration preferences for different workers and work contents in advance. When a worker needs to perform a task, the system retrieves the pre-configured settings and applies them automatically, eliminating the need for real-time manual adjustment.
2Adaptability or versatility
If equipment states are manually adjusted for each worker and work content, then appropriate configurations are achieved, but the operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a universal solution that handles multiple workers, multiple work contents, and multiple equipment types through a single integrated control system. The control system can manage diverse equipment configurations automatically without requiring different adjustment procedures for each scenario.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses information copying by storing equipment configuration preferences as data and retrieving them automatically. Instead of physical manual adjustment, the control system copies the appropriate configuration settings from storage and applies them to the equipment.
3Extent of automation
If the moving object is operated by unmanned driving, then automation is improved, but the equipment adjustment capability for different workers is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms by acquiring work information about the current worker and work content, then using this information to automatically adjust equipment settings. The control system continuously monitors and adapts equipment configuration based on retrieved preferences and current conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-programs equipment configuration preferences for different workers and work contents into the control system. This preliminary action enables the unmanned moving object to automatically select and apply appropriate equipment settings without human intervention during operation.

AI summary
A control system includes a moving object, an acquisition unit, and a control unit. Equipment a state of which is changeable is installed on the moving object and the moving object is movable by unmanned driving. The acquisition unit acquires work information that is at least one of personal information on a worker who engages in work to the moving object, and content information indicating a work content. The control unit uses the acquired work information to change the state of the equipment.
