An autonomous moving apparatus includes a moving unit moving the apparatus, a detector detecting distances from surrounding objects and shapes of the objects, and a controller. When a route of the apparatus is adjusted to a route of a follow target under control of the moving unit, the controller controls the moving unit so that the apparatus continues to move without changing the route of the apparatus if the follow target has changed the route but an obstacle having a possibility of causing a movement abnormality when the apparatus moves over the obstacle is present between the route of the follow target and the route of the apparatus. When the obstacle is no longer present between the route of the follow target and the route of the apparatus, the controller controls the moving unit so that the route of the apparatus is adjusted to the route of the follow target.

An autonomous moving apparatus includes: a detection unit that detects a distance to an object around the apparatus and a shape of the object; a moving unit that moves the apparatus so as to follow operation of a target person to be followed, which is detected by the detection unit; and a control unit that performs control for movement by the moving unit or stop in accordance with motion of each of two feet of the target person to be followed, which is detected by the detection unit.

A mobile robot includes a receiving unit that receives a request for providing a service, a notifying unit that notifies a client that the request is received by performing an operation oriented toward the client who has made the request, a moving unit that moves toward a user designated as a receiver of the service in accordance with the request, and a providing unit that provides the service.

Mobile robot, movement control system, and movement control method

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to obtain user's surroundings at a usage location where the user uses a service accompanied by communication with another location, determine, based on the obtained surroundings, a security level at the usage location for transmission of a video from the other location to the usage location or a security level at the usage location for transmission of an audio from the other location to the usage location, and determine, based on a determined level, whether to perform video or audio transmission between the usage location and the other location.

A control device includes: a receiving unit that receives a request for processing; and a control unit that, in a case where the receiving unit receives a plurality of requests for processing from a plurality of places, controls a traveling route of a processing apparatus based on traveling time taken for the processing apparatus to travel to the plurality of places and processing time taken for the processing apparatus to finish the processing after traveling.

Control device, processing apparatus system, and recording medium

An environmental measurement system includes a moving apparatus and an output unit. The moving apparatus includes an acquiring unit that acquires information on environmental factors, and the moving apparatus is capable of autonomously moving in a predefined region. The output unit outputs an environmental factor distribution in the region, and the environmental factor distribution has been calculated on the basis of the information on environmental factors acquired by the moving apparatus and location information of the moving apparatus at the time the information on environmental factors was acquired.

A profile selector includes at least one beam-forming lens refracting a laser beam to be incident so as to convert a beam profile and emits a laser beam having a beam profile selected from a plurality of beam profiles. A collimating lens converts a laser beam of a divergent beam to be incident into collimated light. A focusing lens focuses the collimated light emitted from the collimating lens and irradiates the focused beam to a sheet metal of a processing target. A moving mechanism moves the collimating lens along an optical axis such that a deviation of a focal point is reduced caused when the beam profile of the focused beam emitted from the focusing lens is selected by the profile selector.

Laser processing machine

A self-moving apparatus that provides a service by moving to a destination and includes a detection unit and a reporting unit. A reception unit receives a user instruction for causing the self-moving apparatus to move to a predetermined destination if the self-moving apparatus is in a predetermined state relating to maintenance or printing or if the self-moving apparatus is changed to be in the predetermined state. A detection unit detects a state of the self-moving apparatus. A moving unit that moves to the predetermined destination if the self-moving apparatus is in the predetermined state or if the self-moving apparatus is changed to be in the predetermined state on the basis of a detection result obtained by the detection unit.
