Abstract

Abstract Translated from Japanese (57)【要約】 【目的】 床面を作業する移動ロボットが、障害物を回 避しながら与えられたすべての作業領域を余す所なく、 また重複する所なく、効率良く且つ安全に作業を遂行で きる移動ロボットの床面掃引方法及び装置を得ること。 【構成】 方位検出部3及び走行距離検出部4を含むロ ボットの位置検出演算部5と、ロボットの前方並びに左 右の方向に存在する障害物をそれぞれ検出する前方障害 物光・超音波検出部1並びに右方及び左方障害物光・超 音波検出部6A及び6Bと、前記位置検出演算部5から の位置情報及び前記各方向の光・超音波検出部1,6A 及び6Bからの障害物情報により、障害物を回避しなが ら所定作業領域の床面を余すところなく掃引する計画を 生成し、該計画に基づき移動ロボットの走行制御指令を 出力する障害物回避掃引処理部7とを備えたもの。 (57) [Abstract] [Purpose] A mobile robot working on the floor is able to avoid all obstacles and fully use all of the given work area. (EN) A method and apparatus for sweeping a floor of a mobile robot capable of efficiently and safely performing work without duplication. A robot position detection calculation unit 5 including an azimuth detection unit 3 and a travel distance detection unit 4, and a front obstacle light / ultrasound detection unit 1 for detecting obstacles existing in the front and left and right directions of the robot, respectively. And right and left obstacle light / ultrasound detectors 6A and 6B, and position information from the position detection calculator 5 and light / ultrasound detectors 1 and 6A in each direction. And the obstacle information from 6B, an obstacle avoidance sweep process for generating a plan for sweeping the floor surface of a predetermined work area while avoiding the obstacle and outputting a traveling control command of the mobile robot based on the plan. With part 7.
