An arithmetic device configured to perform an arithmetic process on a travel route for each of a plurality of work machines capable of conducting a work in a work region, the device comprising an acquisition unit for acquiring map information of the work region, and a setting unit for setting, for each work machine, a work start point, a work end point, and at least one intermediate point on an outer edge portion of the work region, and for setting, on the map information, the travel route from the work start point to the work end point to pass through the at least one intermediate point, wherein the travel route has a predetermined width, and a plurality of travel routes respectively corresponding to the plurality of work machines enclose the work region with the predetermined width.

Arithmetic device and work machine

A work machine system is provided. The system comprises: a first work machine and a second work machine, each being configured to conduct a work in a predetermined work area. The first work machine includes a first position detector to detect a position of the second work machine and a transmitter to transmit, to the second work machine, travel control information in accordance with the position of the second work machine. The second work machine includes a position indicator to display a position for the first work machine and a receiver to receive the travel control information from the first work machine, and a travel controller to control travel based on the travel control information.

Work machine system and work machine

An information processing apparatus manages work performed in a work region. An acquisition unit acquires information regarding a work result of the work region. An evaluation unit evaluates work performed in the work region based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit. An identifying unit identifies a work subject that has performed work in a region for which an evaluation is performed by the evaluation unit.

Information processing apparatus, work management system, and work management method

A working machine includes: a working drive source that generates a drive force; a working device that performs a predetermined work using the drive force of the working drive source; a sensor that acquires environmental information that is information on a surrounding environment of the working machine; and a control part that determines whether or not to perform an influence reduction control on the basis of the environmental information acquired by the sensor, and in a case where it is determined that the influence reduction control is to be performed, performs the influence reduction control which is a predetermined control that reduces an influence on the surrounding environment of a sound generated when the working device performs the predetermined work.

Working machine and control device

An autonomous work system includes a first work machine, a second work machine, and a setting apparatus, in which the setting apparatus sets a part of an entire work region as a first work region in which the first work machine performs work, and calculates a first work time required for the first work machine to perform the work in the first work region, sets a region other than the first work region in the entire work region as a second work region in which the second work machine performs work, and calculates a second work time required for the second work machine to perform the work in the second work region, changes the first work region and the second work region such that a difference between the first work time and the second work time is within a predetermined value, transmits information regarding the changed first work region to the first work machine, and transmits information regarding the changed second work region to the second work machine.

Autonomous work system, autonomous work setting method, and storage medium

An information processing device includes: a processor configured to: collect monitoring information indicating circumstances of a monitoring area from a plurality of monitoring information acquiring units, detect an object which is located in the monitoring area on the basis of the monitoring information, update map information of the monitoring area using position information indicating a position of the object, and provide the map information to a working machine that performs predetermined work in the monitoring area.

Information processing device, information processing system, and information processing method

An information processing device includes a vegetation analysis section configured to analyze a vegetation state of a monitoring area on the basis of detection information acquired from a detection unit and indicating a status of the monitoring area, a restricted area determination section configured to define a restricted area, where entry is restricted, in the monitoring area on the basis of the vegetation state, and a guidance information providing section configured to provide a terminal device with guidance information indicating restrictions on entry into the restricted area.

Information processing device, information providing system, and information processing method

A system capable of recognizing position, a shape, a posture and the like of an object present in a marginal environment of a device such as a robot in order to make the device perform operations on the object as a subject. In an environment recognition system, 3D information and physical information (color information and the like) of a subject are associated by using camera parameters of each of a 3D image sensor and a 2D image sensor. Thereby, the position, the posture and the shape related to the subject and the physical information of the subject present in the environment of a robot are obtained.

Environment recognition system, environment recognition method and robot

In a system for driving a mobile robot having a body, a plurality of legs each comprising a thigh link and a shank link, a first electric motor and a second motor for driving the thigh link in a forwarding direction, a power line connecting a power source to the first and the second motors, and a motor driver that supplies drive voltage to the first and second motors, a booster that boosts the drive voltage to be supplied to the first and second motors is provided such that the booster and the motor driver are installed in the thigh link where the first and second motors are installed, thereby enabling to satisfy both the low-voltage demand and high-voltage demand and to supply drive voltage to the motors effectively.

Driving system for mobile robot

An autonomous mobile robot is provided which is autonomously movable, including an upper body, legs connected under the upper body, a first detector which detects an object in a front region of the upper body in a moving direction of the robot, and a second detector which detects an object in a region other than a sensing region sensed by the first detector including at least a rear region, a rear right region, and a rear left region of the upper body.

Autonomous mobile robot

Disclosed is a space-saving autonomous mobile robot capable of switching two types of light irradiation appropriately. The robot includes a moving mechanism, an autonomous movement controller for controlling the moving mechanism, a self-location recognition unit for sensing a self-location of the robot, a map data storage unit for storing a map data on locations of marks, a slit light device for irradiating a detection area with slit light, an infrared device for irradiating a detection area with infrared rays, and a switch determination unit for comparing a mark-formed region and the self-location, and then, for switching between the slit light and infrared devices, based on the comparison result. Moreover, the infrared device irradiates the detection area when the self-location is within the mark-formed region, while the slit light device irradiates the detection area when the self-location is outside the mark-formed region.
