Autonomous Working Robot Height Adjustment During Operation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing working robots cannot adjust the height of their working units autonomously during operations, requiring user intervention and reducing usability.
Innovation Solution
The working robot is equipped with a control unit that executes an autonomous operation, including a height adjustment process, allowing the robot to adjust the height of its working unit in multiple steps without user manual manipulation, and can be switched between executing and not executing the height adjustment process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the working robot executes autonomous height adjustment process during operation, then the usability is improved and user monitoring is reduced, but the device complexity and control complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The working robot performs height adjustment autonomously during operation without requiring user intervention. The control unit automatically executes the height adjustment process based on predetermined conditions, allowing the system to serve itself and eliminating the need for user monitoring or manual manipulation.
Solution Approach 2:
The height adjustment process is planned and executed in advance during the autonomous operation sequence. The control unit determines optimal height adjustment timing and parameters before execution, allowing the robot to proactively adapt to working conditions without real-time user input.
2Ease of operation
If the working robot provides fixed height adjustment mode, then the ease of operation is improved, but the adaptability to different user preferences deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The working robot provides multiple height adjustment modes (first mode with automatic adjustment, second mode without automatic adjustment) that can be dynamically selected based on user preferences. The system transitions between different operational states to accommodate varying user needs and working conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The control unit allows users to change operational parameters such as height adjustment activation status and mode selection. By enabling parameter modification, the system adapts to different user preferences while maintaining ease of operation through standardized interfaces.

AI summary
A working robot may include a robot body, a movement unit, a working unit supported by the robot body, a height adjustment unit configured to change a height level of the working unit relative to the robot body, and a control unit. The control unit may be configured to execute an autonomous operation including a working process of causing the working unit to work while moving the robot body by the movement unit and a height adjustment process of causing the height adjustment unit to adjust the height level of the working unit relative to the robot body in multiple steps. The working robot may be configured to be switched between a first state in which the control unit executes the height adjustment process in the autonomous operation and a second state in which the control unit does not execute the height adjustment process in the autonomous operation.
