Importance of problem statement

1) Identify the needs and limitations

2) Help define problem and develop suitable solution
2) provide ideas of the projects and outline the scope of projects
3) it is a process of improvement

To reduce the admission pressure and risk of exposure to virus, quarantine hotel needs
automated delivery supply and pick-up system.

WHAT ->delivery supply system

WHO -> Quarantines Hotels
WHY ->reduce exposure to viruses

1) requirement ->delivery to each room

2) straight forward reasons
3) automated -> wireless /remotely/less workers

Hi guys, the problem that I have generated problem statement is “To reduce the admission
pressure and risk of exposure to virus, quarantine hotel needs autonomously delivery supplies
and pick-up”. I think it’s quite efficient since I included the 3 W components in it such as
What is delivery supply system, who is Quarantines hotels and the why is reduce admission
pressure and exposure to virus. I have also mentioned that the requirement of the delivery and
pick up must be fully-machines control. The solution does not limit in system or robots.

Team idea

specificity (include supply boxes) / more specific

Broad but not too big

Aim single sentences (concise)

Constrains and limitations
problem state / climb up stair (straight)

Hotel (environment restriction)

Specific condition

ok / short background (quarantine hotels more than enough)

Introduce background

Autonomous -> only without human

Need mentioned wireless
Design -> redefined the client statement (description)

 To minimize human contact, quarantine hotels need an autonomous system which can
transport supply boxes with specified route and terrain.



which can delivery and pick-up supply boxes with specified terrain.

To reduce the risk of human exposure to coronavirus, quarantine hotels need a

system to autonomously deliver and pick up supply boxes
