Solution Overview

Problem

Current technologies face challenges in coordinating complex spatial performances involving multiple unmanned spatial vehicles (USVs) in dynamic environments, such as adapting to real-time sensory information and ensuring safe execution without collisions, especially in three-dimensional spaces.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilize USVs equipped with sensory devices and spatial control modules to detect live sensory information, adjust spatial maneuvers, and communicate distributedly to ensure safe execution of pre-determined and modified sequences of maneuvers, including the ability to dock and form structures, while maintaining real-time feedback and collision avoidance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

1Illumination intensity

If multiple USVs coordinate complex spatial maneuvers in three-dimensional space, then the visual and auditory display quality improves, but the risk of collisions and safety hazards increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual display qualityVSAvoidcollision risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs sensory devices on each USV to detect real-time spatial positions and environmental conditions of other vehicles. This feedback mechanism enables continuous monitoring and dynamic adjustment of maneuvers, allowing the coordination of complex spatial displays while preventing collisions through real-time situational awareness and adaptive response.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Stability of the object's composition

If USVs execute pre-determined sequences of spatial maneuvers, then the performance coordination improves, but the adaptability to dynamic environmental conditions deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance coordinationVSAvoidadaptability to dynamic conditions
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamic maneuver sequences where pre-determined spatial paths are continuously adjusted based on real-time sensory feedback from environmental conditions and other USVs. This allows the performance to maintain coordinated structure while adapting to changing conditions, transforming static pre-programmed sequences into dynamic responsive maneuvers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

Sensory devices provide real-time information about environmental conditions and relative positions, which feeds back to the control system. This feedback enables the USVs to modify their pre-determined sequences dynamically, maintaining performance coordination while adapting to unexpected conditions during execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Device complexity

If USVs operate independently with autonomous control, then the system complexity reduces, but the ability to perform synchronized coordinated maneuvers deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol system complexityVSAvoidsynchronized coordination
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The control system is segmented and distributed across multiple USVs, with each vehicle having autonomous capabilities to detect, process, and respond to environmental conditions. This segmentation reduces overall system complexity by eliminating centralized control while maintaining synchronized coordination through distributed autonomous decision-making based on shared sensory information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A system and method for participating in a multi-USV performance in three-dimensional space. The USV can include: a computer processor; a sensory device configured to detect live sensory information relative to a second USV participating in the performance in proximity to the USV; and a spatial control module executing on the computer processor and configured to enable the computer processor to: (i) receive instructions for performing a pre-determined sequence of spatial maneuvers of the performance; (ii) begin execution of the pre-determined sequence of spatial maneuvers according to the instructions; (iii) identify a modified sequence of spatial maneuvers calculated based on the live sensory information from the sensory device; (iv) halt execution of the pre-determined sequence of spatial maneuvers; and/or (v) execute the modified sequence of spatial maneuvers.
