Route determining device, robot, and route determining method

Abstract

This disclosure provides a route determining device capable of determining a route of a moving device such that the moving device smoothly moves to a destination while avoiding an interference with a traffic participant even in a congested traffic environment. A route determining devicedetermines a provisional movement velocity command v_cnn such that an interference between a robotand traffic participants is avoided using the CNN, determines a distance dist between the robotand the traffic participant closest to the robotwhen the robot is assumed to move from the current position by a command v_cnn in accordance with the reliability P of the command v_cnn, and determines a movement velocity command v of the robot using a DWA such that a target function G including the distance dist and the movement velocity command v of the robot as independent variables has a maximum value.
