Solution Overview
Problem
Existing robotic systems relying on Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) techniques struggle with inefficiency, lack of learning from diverse environments, and localization errors, leading to significant deviations and position loss in unknown conditions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If SLAM techniques are used for localization and mapping in unknown physical conditions, then the system can operate autonomously in unknown environments, but localization errors accumulate causing substantial deviation from actual values and position loss
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the continuous localization and mapping process into discrete grid cells. Each grid cell is independently analyzed and secured based on local conditions, allowing the system to process information in manageable segments rather than as a continuous overwhelming task. This segmentation enables the robot to maintain accurate localization by frequently updating its position relative to the grid structure, preventing error accumulation over long distances.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs predetermined parameters and predetermined execution plans that are established before the robot operates in unknown environments. These preliminary structures provide a framework for localization and mapping that reduces the complexity of real-time decision-making. By having pre-defined grid structures and execution plans, the system can quickly adapt to unknown conditions without accumulating localization errors, as it constantly references the predetermined framework.
2Stability of the object's composition
If predetermined parameters are used for securing members in a grid structure, then the structure provides stability and predictability, but the system cannot adapt to environmental variations or incorporate learnings from other conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic parameter update mechanism where predetermined parameters serve as the initial framework, but parameters are continuously updated based on environmental analysis and learnings from other conditions. The execution plan dynamically adjusts securing parameters based on real-time sensor data and accumulated knowledge, allowing the grid structure to maintain stability while adapting to environmental variations. This dynamic approach enables the system to incorporate learnings from different environments while preserving the fundamental structural integrity provided by the predetermined parameters.
3Ease of manufacture
If a fixed grid structure is used for securing members, then the system is simple to implement and provides consistent structure, but it cannot optimize for different environmental conditions or task requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs parameter changes to transform a simple fixed grid structure into an adaptive system. While the basic grid geometry remains simple and easy to implement, the securing parameters (such as securing force, spacing, and method) are dynamically adjusted based on environmental analysis and task requirements. This allows the system to maintain the implementation simplicity of a fixed grid while achieving the optimization capabilities of an adaptive structure through parameter modification rather than structural complexity.

AI summary
Variable-grid securing processes, structures produced by variable-grid securing processes, systems for variable-grid securing, and variable-grid-containing structures are disclosed. The variable-grid securing process includes providing members within a first member set and a second member set, and securing a first portion of the members within the first member set to a second portion of the members within the second member set. The securing is based upon predetermined parameters and updated parameters, the updated parameters applying input captured by analyzing the members. Structures produced by the variable-grid securing process and variable-grid-containing structures are produced by the analyzing of the members. The systems for variable-grid securing use the variable-grid securing process.
