PATROL ROBOT AND AUTONOMOUS TRAVEL METHOD OF PATROL ROBOT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a patrol robot efficiently travel.;SOLUTION: In an inventive patrol robot 1, by indication of travel management means 1d, route generating means 1c generates patrol route information up to the next target designation point from a present point, and autonomous travel control means 1e autonomously travels on a patrol route based on the patrol route information. When it stops by detecting an impassable route in the middle of travel, the travel management means 1d sets a stopped position as the present point, makes a route generating means 1c regenerate the patrol route by removing the impassable route from a travelable route, and makes the patrol robot 1 travel on a changed patrol route. The travel management means 1d prevents a route determined to be impassable from being incorporated into the patrol route until a prescribed time lapses.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT
