This study presents a comparative experimental analysis of three inventive problem-solving approaches: (a) traditional TRIZ methodology applied without AI assistance, (b) a hybrid approach integrating TRIZ with generative AI, and (c) an autonomous AI-powered process without direct human intervention. A real-world engineering challenge for the experiment, an inline coating measurement for lithium-ion-cell-production, was selected by an expert and structured using detailed problem description. During a maximum seven-hour problem-solving phase, three teams applied the mentioned approaches for ideation, and selected the best 10 solution ideas. The ideation outcomes were evaluated based on key performance metrics: the total number of unique ideas, team and individual ideation productivity, as well as the ideas’ usefulness, feasibility, and novelty. The results offer insights into the performance of AI-augmented problem solving, emphasizing differences in ideation productivity, solution diversity, and the impact of human intervention.

摘要

This study presents a comparative experimental analysis of three inventive problem-solving approaches: (a) traditional TRIZ methodology applied without AI assistance, (b) a hybrid approach integrating TRIZ with generative AI, and (c) an autonomous AI-powered process without direct human intervention. A real-world engineering challenge for the experiment, an inline coating measurement for lithium-ion-cell-production, was selected by an expert and structured using detailed problem description. During a maximum seven-hour problem-solving phase, three teams applied the mentioned approaches for ideation, and selected the best 10 solution ideas. The ideation outcomes were evaluated based on key performance metrics: the total number of unique ideas, team and individual ideation productivity, as well as the ideas’ usefulness, feasibility, and novelty. The results offer insights into the performance of AI-augmented problem solving, emphasizing differences in ideation productivity, solution diversity, and the impact of human intervention.
