Vehicle Cleaning Robot Coordination for Timely Targeted Cleaning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle cleaning systems lack a method to determine appropriate timing for cleaning and do not consider specific cleaning methods after vehicle cleaning information is transmitted.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle cleaning system that includes a vehicle and a cleaning robot capable of communicating necessary information for cleaning, where the vehicle and robot determine the cleaning area and method based on vehicle information, use history, seating history, and vehicle type characteristics, allowing for targeted and timely cleaning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If vehicle cleaning information is transmitted to user terminal or maintenance management server, then cleaning notification is provided to users, but cleaning timing and method determination is not addressed
Solution Approach 1:
The system establishes a feedback loop where the cleaning robot collects cleaning information from the vehicle (dirtiness levels, usage patterns, vehicle type), transmits it to the determination unit, receives cleaning timing and method decisions, executes the cleaning, and reports completion. This closed-loop feedback system ensures that information transmission is directly connected to actionable cleaning execution, resolving the contradiction between information notification and cleaning productivity.
2Productivity
If cleaning is performed without determining appropriate timing and method, then cleaning operations can be executed, but cleaning effectiveness and resource efficiency are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary determination of cleaning timing and method before executing cleaning operations. The determination unit analyzes vehicle information, usage history, and dirtiness factors in advance to decide when and how to clean, ensuring that cleaning operations are both effective and resource-efficient. This preliminary action prevents wasteful cleaning while ensuring cleaning occurs at appropriate times.
3Adaptability or versatility
If general cleaning methods are used without considering vehicle characteristics, then cleaning can be performed on any vehicle, but cleaning quality does not adapt to specific vehicle needs
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by tailoring cleaning methods to specific vehicle characteristics. The determination unit analyzes vehicle type, interior materials, usage patterns, and dirtiness factors to customize cleaning parameters (such as suction power, brush rotation speed, cleaning paths) for each specific cleaning task. This ensures high cleaning quality adapted to each vehicle's unique requirements without requiring complex manual configuration.

AI summary
A vehicle cleaning system includes: a vehicle; and a cleaning robot that cleans the vehicle. Further, the vehicle and the cleaning robot mutually perform communication of information necessary for cleaning, and perform cleaning at appropriate timing.
