Vehicle Navigation Control for Through-Point Object Installation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for package delivery by autonomous movable bodies do not allow users to observe the body in a desired state, as they lack functionality for user-directed installation and navigation of selection objects.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that acquires user-selected information about a through-point and destination, generating a navigation command for the movable body to move to the through-point for object installation, enabling user observation of the body in the desired state.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the movable body autonomously travels to deliver packages without user intervention, then delivery efficiency is improved, but users cannot observe the movable body in their desired state or with specific objects installed
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows users to pre-select objects and specify through-points before the movable body departs. The control device generates a navigation command that includes stopping at these pre-designated through-points where selected objects will be installed. This preliminary planning enables users to observe the movable body in their desired configured state while maintaining autonomous delivery operations.
2Loss of time
If the movable body travels directly to the destination without intermediate stops, then travel time is reduced, but users cannot observe the body with selected objects installed
Solution Approach 1:
Users pre-select through-points and objects before the journey begins. The control device optimizes the navigation command to include only necessary intermediate stops at these pre-selected through-points, rather than adding unnecessary detours. This allows the movable body to make minimal, purposeful stops for object installation while still enabling user observation, thereby reducing overall travel time compared to direct delivery without observation capability.
3Ease of operation
If the system allows user selection of objects and through-points, then user observation capability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control device serves as an intermediary between the user terminal and the movable body. It receives user selections and through-point information, processes this data to generate optimized navigation commands, and transmits these commands to the movable body. This intermediary layer simplifies the user interface while managing the complexity of coordinating object installation, navigation, and timing automatically.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables users to self-configure their observation preferences by selecting objects and through-points through the user terminal. The control device automatically processes these selections and generates the appropriate navigation commands without requiring manual intervention during the journey. This self-service approach reduces operational complexity while maintaining enhanced user observation capability.
Data Source
AI summary
Provided is an information processing device including a controlling portion configured to execute: acquisition of information about a through-point corresponding to a selection object selected by a user terminal from among selection objects installable in a movable body in a base state; acquisition of information about a destination output from the user terminal as a point where a user observes the movable body in a state where the selection object selected by the user terminal is installed; and generation of a navigation command so as to move the movable body to the destination after the selection object selected by the user terminal is installed in the movable body by causing the movable body to drop in at the through-point.
