Abstract
An area recognition system, an area recognition method, and a program that simplify a control logic for recognizing a movement between travel areas are provided. An area recognition system recognizes a travel area of a robot. A magnetic member having a first magnetic pole and a magnetic member having a second magnetic pole different from the first pole are disposed between different travel areas. The robot includes a first magnetic sensor, a second magnetic sensor provided at a position different from a position where the first magnetic sensor is provided along a traveling direction of the robot, and a recognition unit configured to recognize a movement of the robot between the different travel areas by the first magnetic sensor detecting the first magnetic pole and the second magnetic sensor detecting the second magnetic pole.
