Abstract
A map for determining a safe traveling route that does not collide with a performer or an object on a stage is generated, and an image capturing robot is caused to travel according to a route determined on the basis of the map. A potential map in which a traveling allowance area of the image capturing robot that moves on a stage and captures an image is defined is generated. A control circuitry acquires action schedule data of a performer, arrangement schedule data of an object on a stage, and control schedule data of a lighting on the stage, and generates, on the basis of the acquired data, a potential map in which an area that does not collide with a performer or an object and is inconspicuous by a lighting is defined as a travel allowance area.
