Sergey Sysoev, St. Petersburg, Anton Kulakov, Mikhail Rubin, Moscow. Generative AI in Compinno-TRIZ: achievements and development prospects

The combination of TRIZ and LLM tools increases the capabilities of artificial intelligence in solving inventive problems by 80%, while significantly simplifying the correct and effective application of TRIZ tools. This necessitates the integration of LLM into the Compinno-TRIZ software suite, fundamentally transforming the technology for formulating and solving inventive problems. Currently, LLM is used in the analysis and formulation of initial problem situations, in the actomatic formulation of contradictions and IFRs, in modules for applying contradiction resolution techniques, searching for physical effects, in the RTI module, and other modules. Further development of the Compinno-TRIZ software suite is aimed not only at formulating and solving inventive problems but also at teaching TRIZ and developing inventive thinking.

 

Kalaji T., Turkey, Gurov S., St. Petersburg. TRIZ in digital design.

This paper explores the practical application of the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) methodology in digital design. Basic TRIZ tools are applicable in this field and require meaningful adaptation. The paper focuses on:

— Adaptation of TRIZ contradiction resolution principles: An approach to systemic transition through the lens of the "structure" and "action" of digital products is proposed.

— Adaptation of techniques: Inventive contradiction resolution techniques (mono-techniques and bi-poly techniques) and their relationship to contradiction resolution principles are examined and adapted. Research is conducted to rethink the application of these principles and techniques to digital design problems, with relevant examples of their use identified.

— A modified table of bi-poly contradiction resolution techniques is presented based on Altshuller's table, and work is conducted to adapt the characteristics of this table to the specifics of design problems and contradictions. — Practical application and illustrations: the developed theoretical principles are supported by specific examples (tasks or cases) of the application of adapted TRIZ tools in digital design, confirming their effectiveness for generating ideas and overcoming design contradictions.

 

Anton Kulakov, Moscow. Analysis and evaluation of problematic situations using AI.

Successful project execution is defined by achieving project objectives within a limited timeframe, which is impossible without planning. This thesis has been repeatedly confirmed by the author's practical experience implementing projects in the aluminum and refrigeration industries. Furthermore, publicly available research shows that the level of planning completeness positively correlates with project success and effectiveness. The importance of planning is also noted by TRIZ specialists. The development of a detailed project plan is preceded by an equally important step: developing a project implementation strategy, the formation of which directly depends on an understanding of the initial problem situation and the completeness and relevance of the information available to the project manager. But how can one determine the completeness and relevance of information for the formation of a comprehensive project strategy? And even if these are determined and prove insufficient, what should be done with this knowledge? What exactly needs to be clarified, supplemented, and clarified to advance the development of the project strategy? The author hypothesized that generative artificial intelligence (GAI) capabilities could be extremely useful and practically applicable in analyzing the completeness and assessing the relevance of information about the initial problem situation. Using large language models, it is possible to identify components of the initial problem situation, assess their informativeness, and suggest areas for further clarification by the project manager. Furthermore, a dialogue between the AI ​​and the user is emerging, aimed at clarifying the problem situation and leading to self-training by the user to formulate problem situations more fully and accurately, a key skill for TRIZ specialists. The author's study confirmed this hypothesis using a sample of 286 initial problem situations. The report will cover the research methodology, results, and conclusions.

This report is a continuation of the author's work on automating the construction of TRIZ project roadmaps.

 

Аleksandr Tokarev, Moscow. The principle of constructing a system for working on a problem using TRIZ tools and Large Language Models.      

Large language models (LLM) are successfully applied to a wide range of problems. TRIZ algorithms have their advantages when working with complex problems. Combining both technologies allows for a highly capable system. This paper proposes a design for constructing such a system. It is based on a cycle of interaction with the LLM: the user formulates a problem, and the LLM generates a series of solutions. The user evaluates these solutions, and if they find the desired solution, the cycle ends. If the solutions are unsatisfactory, they provide the LLM with additional information. Based on this additional information, the LLM proposes a new series of solutions. This process continues until a satisfactory solution is found. TRIZ tools in this design are used to formulate the LLM's question for the user. Depending on the user's current stage of problem solving, appropriate TRIZ tools are selected. This allows for the construction of a logical problem-solving trajectory (RoadMap).

 

V. Velikov, Bulgaria. Increase in the production capacity of the cable manufacturing line.

The task was to increase the productivity of two production lines for cables. Each line had: 1. One cutting cables machine. 2. One station for cleaning the cables. 3. One station for soldering. 4. 2 Injection machines for closing the cables with plastic.  Both lines were situated very close one by another.

Using TRIZ I created a solution. The solution: 1. I took a decision to mark the injection machines like bottlenecks. 2. To prevent the bottlenecks from starving I installed area buffers with controls for start feeding them and stop feeding them - Principle 23 (Feedback) and 20(Continuity of useful action). 3. I used principle 5 (Mergine) to merge the two production lines, because every day there were situations in which only one injection machine was used. There was taken political solution by a manager the two production lines to be seperate and not to share resources one by another. I used exactly the opposite. 4. Principle 19(Periodic action) I used to control the flow of materials because the cutting machine which is the first in the process, was very fast and was creating a big buffer before cleaning stations. From the law of Little we know that the big amount of WIP in the process is causing slow pace. 5. Princliple 32 - I used different colors to control the buffer in front of Cleaning station and in front of the Injection machines.

 

Rubin M., Moscow. Comprehensive standards for solving inventive tasks.

Comprehensive standards for inventive problem solving are part of 21st-century TRIZ, preserving the key principles established by G.S. Altshuller and developing them in the face of new challenges and technological opportunities. These comprehensive standards are based on Altshuller's developments: contradiction resolution techniques, inventive problem solving standards, systems development paths, typical conflict patterns, and more. These comprehensive standards establish a connection between conflict types, on the one hand, and bi-poly techniques, system closure tools, and ele-field transformations in inventive problem solving, on the other.

 

Dr. Farber, USA. Innovative Untapped Niches for Nephroprotectors Using TRIZ Principles in Drug Development

All severe bacterial infections are treated with antibiotics. Up to 60% of kidney diseases are caused by the use of severe antibiotics. All toxins from strong antibiotics pass through the kidneys. The antibiotic must be strong enough to kill microorganisms, but at the same time gentle enough not to damage the kidneys. Billions are spent on body protection—the condom market is $21 billion—but no drug directly protects the kidneys. You cannot protect the kidneys the way you protect your hands by simply putting on elastic gloves.

This presentation explores groundbreaking strategies for nephroprotective drug development through the lens of TRIZ. Solving extremely important medical and market problems could be accomplished with minimal tools. By identifying contradictions in current therapeutic approaches and applying inventive principles, this work reveals enormous untapped niches for innovation in kidney protection. It demonstrates how TRIZ can accelerate the solution of multi-billion-dollar problems using minimal resources.

Savransky S., USA. LLM, PINN and KAN: TRIZ problems and some solutions.

Current effort is mostly targets AI and TRIZ integration. This paper rather addresses some AI problems (energy, hallucinations, neuromorphic computing and von Neumann bottleneck) that can be solved due to TRIZ. Creative prompt engineering (PE) is identified as a contemporary analogue of classical TRIZ heuristics which is capable to facilitate Large Language Models (LLMs) –TRIZ interaction within proposed conceptual TRIZ+AI platform. The study also reframes some TRIZ heuristics into mathematical equations to use in Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs). The paper also outlines some fundamental problems of integration TRIZ into modern AI systems like KAN or PINN (Physics-Informed Neural Network) and possible ways of their resolution with {TRIZ} Technology Informed Neural Network (TINN) , Section “TRIZ in Business”:

Trantin A., Moscow.  The Bi-poly table of Principles for resolving contradictions in Business. Experience of practical application.

Bi-poly principles serve as an effective tool for resolving contradictions in business. They combine standard inventive principles with new ideas developed through analysis of existing methods and tools. The development of bi-poly principles was based on the work of Genrikh Altshuller, the founder of the theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ).

Bi-poly principles are used to increase the effectiveness of solutions through the combination of different methods and approaches. This enables us to identify the best ways to solve complex problems and enhance decision-making quality.

Bi-poly principles are extensively used in different business fields such as manufacturing, marketing, project management, and innovative development. Using these principles helps companies shorten solution-finding time, reduce costs, and boost market competitiveness.

The success of bi-poly principles depends on choosing appropriate combinations and tailoring them to the particular requirements of each task. Therefore, it is essential to carefully analyse the situation and select the most suitable methods and tools to achieve the best results.

Thus, bi-poly principles serve as an effective means to improve business results and decision-making quality. Applying these principles enables companies to effectively resolve emerging contradictions and achieve their goals.

In this report, we will examine clear examples of the application of Bi-poly principles for resolving contradictions in Business.

Utrobina I.V., St. Petersburg. TRIZ for working with the company's efficiency potential.

The transition to ambitious goal-setting based on Gazprom Neft's efficiency potential in a turbulent environment, as opposed to the previously adopted approach of setting goals based on achieved results, requires different methods and approaches to identifying and realizing the Company's business potential. To implement this approach, the "Potential Factory" program, based on TRIZ methodology, has been in effect since 2023. The goal is to develop the Company's employee competencies in identifying and monetizing business efficiency potential by applying TRIZ tools and principles to complex, non-trivial problems that cannot be solved by traditional efficiency improvement tools, resulting in specific measures to monetize Gazprom Neft's business potential.

 

Gafitulin M.S., Zhukovsky. ICR – Altshuller's Beacon (Features in the formulation of ICR).

At the initial stage of understanding, a problematic (inventive) situation presents unstructured, incomplete, or redundant information, which creates difficulties for the Solver. The problem can overwhelm the Solver's consciousness and misdirect their thinking. To precisely guide the Solver's thoughts, TRIZ uses the concept of the IFR (ideal end result). This material is devoted to the place, characteristics, and verification of the IFR formulation. This information is intended for TRIZ specialists engaged in the analysis and solution of problems arising in various areas of human activity.

 

Kozhemyako A.P., Chelyabinsk. Features of working with resources in sociotechnical systems. Factorial and object-based approach.

Business systems (as a special case and example of the most structured socio-technical systems), however, are characterized by multifactoriality and "softness," which is expressed in the variability of the component composition, quantity, and nature of the relationships between business system elements depending on the situation. This aspect, long understood by TRIZ researchers, requires a special approach to working with resources. It is necessary to have both an express method in one's arsenal that allows for the rapid resolution of multiple contradictions in business systems and a thorough approach in one's "toolbox" that guarantees the discovery of powerful ideas for solving organizational and managerial problems. My report is devoted to presenting approaches to resource selection in socio-technical systems, developed by experts from the TRIZ Business Association, that satisfy the above conditions.

 

Dr. Rakotozandry A. Ignace (Chief Speaker), Randrianantenaina Avotra, Ravalison A. François, Madagascar. Restarting an Oil Project using the TRIZ Approach: A Lever of Innovation for an Energy Industry in Crisis in Madagascar.

This presentation explores how TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) can unlock stalled oil projects in developing countries, focusing on a heavy fuel oil (HFO) initiative in Madagascar. Despite the country’s significant petroleum reserves and a technically successful pilot phase, local production has been halted for nearly a decade due to regulatory uncertainty, financial instability, and stakeholder misalignment. Ironically, the locally produced HFO is 30% cheaper and of higher quality than imported alternatives, yet remains unsold due to the absence of institutional buyers such as JIRAMA, the national electricity utility.

Using TRIZ, the study formulates and resolves key technical and organizational contradictions that hinder project advancement. Core methods include problem tree analysis, Pareto prioritization of root causes, and the application of Altshuller’s contradiction matrix and separation principles to derive innovative, actionable strategies. Participants will gain practical insights into how systematic innovation tools can transform complex, multi-layered crises into opportunities for sustainable energy production.

Gafitulin M.S., Zhukovsky. Stages and signs of cognitive activity.

CCI (development of creative imagination) is one of the main areas of TRIZ. TRIZ teachers are actively involved in the development of cognitive-creative activity (CCA). When students' CCA development is chaotic, teachers may encounter difficulties in choosing a direction for their students' further development. What should a TRIZ teacher do in this situation? The proposed material provides structured stages of CCA with a detailed description of the characteristics of each stage. This information serves as a methodological resource for planning and developing students' CCA. This information is intended for TRIZ teachers who are shaping and developing their students in the area of ​​CCA.

Rezchikova E.V., Korolev. The practice of forming creativity in higher education institutions during the preparation of final qualifying papers.

The requirement to train creative specialists for an innovative economy faces the problem of a "didactic paradox": the higher the creative level of the learning process, the more difficult it is to represent it in the form of a structural, methodological framework. The experience of Bauman Moscow State Technical University has shown that the "knowledge through strategies" methodology is implemented within a practice-oriented pedagogical system that includes inextricably linked didactic components. Each didactic component contains and utilizes methodological teaching systems in the form of techniques for working with problem conditions, creative strategies for solving them, and verification of solutions in relation to the concept of intellectual industrial property. This approach ensures motivation for achievement and a high level of creativity in final qualification theses in engineering specialties.

 

Molodnyakova Alyona, Nizhny Tagil. Using TRIZ techniques to develop a 3D model in the LigroGame computer program based on the author's pedagogical technology in scientific and technical creativity project activities in kindergarten and elementary school.

The report will present methodological approaches to the use of TRIZ methods in the practice of teaching 3D computer modeling to older preschool and elementary school children using the domestic software "electronic environment for 3D modeling LigroGame" based on the author's pedagogical technology and didactic manuals, as well as examples of children's competitive projects based on 3D modeling in the LigroGame program". The relevance of the development of a modern system of scientific and technical creativity of children and youth is identified as a priority task to achieve the technological sovereignty of the country, and therefore there is a need to update the system of scientific and technical creativity of children and youth based on Russian high-tech and innovative products, educational equipment, and software. At the same time, there is a significant shortage not only of domestic software, but also of technologies, methods and programs for the development of scientific, technical and natural mathematics education based on digital technologies, including 3D technologies, identified as priority areas for the development of the high-tech industry. The SUMMIT participants will get acquainted with the comprehensive domestic solution of the LigroGame training class, the idea of the project is included in the TOP 1000 "Strong ideas for a new age - 2023" in the direction of the National Technological Initiative (NTI), TOP 1000 "Strong ideas for a new age – 2025" in the direction of the National Personnel Initiative, "early career guidance through games, VR and digital doubles" based on the results of testing and implementation in practice of educational activities with children in kindergartens and primary schools of the Russian Federation.

 

Rubin M., Rubina N., Moscow. Методические особенности обучения ТРИЗ с применением ИИ Methodological features of TRIZ training using AI.

The need to use Artificial Intelligence in teaching TRIZ methods stems, on the one hand, from the unification of TRIZ and LLM, and on the other, from the fundamentally new opportunities offered by AI. Unlike other well-known applications of Artificial Intelligence in education, teaching TRIZ methods has its own unique challenges related to the need to develop inventive thinking in people and other specific features of the TRIZ field. This report examines the potential of using LLM for formulating inventive problems from existing solutions, checking for contradictions in the initial problem situation, preparing examples for TRIZ tools, creating a list of effects and applying them to solving inventive problems, assessing the level of inventive thinking, and more.

Dr. Farber, USA. The future of online education

Studies on the question "Which education is better — online or in-class?" showed that the vast majority prefer in-class education. I have been involved in education for 50 years, 20 of which have been online. Many years ago, I decided to delve into this issue. To do this, I creatively used the tools of various disciplines: pedagogy, psychology, ergonomics, biomechanics, medicine, mathematics, statistics, labor optimization, TRIZ, creativity methods, time management, and the legacy of great educators, scientists from various fields, psychologists, teachers, and professors. I studied most of the existing teaching methodologies worldwide and obtained relevant education in these fields. Analyzing the issue from different angles, I managed to understand ways to optimize education. By meticulously comparing the results of my research with the statistical data on the success of my students, we managed not only to see in online education the "ugly duckling with a great future," but also to optimize and implement these improvements in the learning process. As a result, online education following our approach became more effective than in-class education — so much so that we closed all our centers where in-class education was conducted and switched exclusively to online learning. In my report, I will focus on the key components of success in online education.
