MOVE PREDICTION APPARATUS, ROBOT CONTROL DEVICE, MOVE PREDICTION PROGRAM AND MOVE PREDICTION METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a move prediction apparatus 10 which is capable of predicting a position where a person reaches, on the basis of a probability P of reach at each via-point (v), and to determine behavior of a robot 14 on the basis of the predicted position of reach or the set via-points (v).;SOLUTION: A move prediction apparatus 10 comprises a plurality of LRFs 12 and the robot 14. Furthermore, the move prediction apparatus 10 records and analyzes move tracks of persons by means of the plurality of LRFs 12 to set a via-point (v) that becomes a target of short-term move into the space. The move of a person can be represented by a via-point sequence including a plurality of via-points, and the via-point sequence is recorded on a via-point list L which associating a move time (t) at the time and a move transition probability (p) of the via-point sequence therewith. The move prediction apparatus 10 then utilizes the via-point list L to calculate the probability P of reach for the person to reach each via-point (v) after the lapse of a predictive move time T.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT
